College lacrosse is a spring sport. Coaches aren't ready to go to recruit June 1st. They need the summer to watch the girls play. Otherwise, they would be recruiting based on what happened the previous Fall. Soccer recruiting starts June 15th but that makes sense because soccer is a Fall college sport. And then club soccer has showcases, ECNL games etc during the spring. It doesn't make sense for the spring sports to start recruiting in June.
