What’s the point of having top recruiting classes if you don’t have any depth.

We lost 8 starters…

3 of our best attacking recruits from this year out for the season

Ashley Humphrey, one of the best feeders in the country out

Brooklyn Walker Welch, one of the best defenders in the country out.

Kaleigh Harden, Sophie Student are major losses for our midfield.

Our leading scorer from last year Marissa White missing the full season.

8 fantastic players token from our lineup… Who else do you think comes off the bench to score because none of the other players have played

Unc just looks like they have no spark, no leadership
Other than long and maybe AH before

While UNC had significant injury issues this look at their last two NCAA games. They scored 8 goals today and 4 goals in their last NCAA game against Denver last year when they weren’t dealing with any injuries. That’s an abysmal 6 goals a game.

This year’s injuries have provided an excuse for and masked a significant problem- their offensive philosophy and coaching. It needs to be improved or they will underachieve next year even with a boatload of offensive talent. And that boatload of talent will cause its own friction as players scrap for playing time and with three sisters and a coach’s daughter on the team next year.

Florida also had 14 saves.. Ashley Humphrey is our main feeder and we had one assist on 8 goals. It obviously shows how much this team struggles without her on the offense when last time we played Florida she had 2 goals and 3 assists

Didn’t wurtz used to be the feeder ? She plays pretty much behind cage ?? How did this one kid become the main feeder when wurtz played that position for 3/4 years ?

Wow just wow. I didn’t notice this when it happened and I thought the offensive foul was called on a bad screen or something.

Sad it didn’t get called a card even as a UNC fan, but also players make mistakes but her frustration losing in what could’ve been her last collegiate game shouldn’t have led to that.

That is so Busch league. Why do we let things like that slide? Where are her teammates coming to her defense? Where is the apology from Levy postgame? IMO, gender stereotypes feed into why stuff like this is allowed/accepted/gets brushed under the rug in the women’s game. I don’t know, maybe I am wrong. But watching that just gets me fired up"

Saw it on IG. Should have been an automatic red and ejection. IMO, coaches have all the power in Women's Lacrosse. The officials don't want to get in a battle with Levy or KAH et al. Empower them to make the call and penalty for coach's histrionics if they don't like it.

SBU v. Syracuse --Orange

Hopkins v. Yale -- Hopkins

Florida v. UVA - UVA

These are all great games. Other than the BC and NU games they should all be super competitive. Very curious about the ND v MI game. Thoughts on that one?

Wurzburger has also been a feeder but Humphrey has been better this season. Humphrey also has 17 more assists with his one less game.

That’s inexcusable and there needs to be a response by unc or the ncaa. I don’t know what they can do but that’s ridiculous. Edit: looks like she has another year of eligibility. She needs a lengthy suspension. Not a 1 gamer against furman. Like 5 games.

Bill:

Want your head to explode? As Division 1 head coaches, you are responsible for filling out a referee evaluation form after each game. Conference mandate. I once sat in a conference head coaches meeting (held annually every fall) that also included the officials assignor as well as the lead regional official. The lead regional official was asked how they utilized the referee evaluations that all coaches were required to fill out. Her response, verbatim, “Oh, we don’t even read those. They are worthless.”

Between the constant rule changes in the women’s game and the comment above, you have all you need to understand why officiating is so bad and inconsistent in our sport.

call it a hunch, but I've got a feeling that O'Grady will be the difference maker tomorrow. We've seen several goalies step up for their teams yesterday.
