Well answered and a little cold water thrown on the "full ride" believers. 95% percent of people will lose money on the investment made to travel programs/camps/training vs what they get in athletic money in college.
Any athletic money is only going to get tighter as financial aide and loans begin to dry up.
My advice is to use your child's athletic ability as leverage to get into the best school that fits that student. I often hear the statement "she is going to school that offers the best deal". Chances are that is the worst for your student.
Most of these students will be done with lacrosse after four years. Don't chase the money; choose the best school.
