Aces is really good and their draw girl is best 27 I’ve seen yet, wow just wow.
BLC seems to be imploding, got smoked by Pride and pride got beat handily by Skywalkers which was surprising
HG and YJ had absolute cake walks and def in wrong brackets
Coppermine continues to win on consistent basis but doesn’t play up, ever
My thoughts.
I agree #2 on Aces is one of the best 27 attackers out there. Fast, strong and can shoot from different angles. I actually think their low attacker with the helmet is even better than her. One of her second half goals against M&D was truly elite.
That said, #2 false starts on about 50% of her draws. At some point, some experienced refs will call that.
BLC's girls are clearly more focused on capital tryouts than the summer season. Sad, but not surprising. Luckily, they only have one tourney left.
Early on in the SW/M&D game I saw one of the dirtiest plays I've ever seen in girls lax. #1 on M&D took a running cross check to the head and got knocked out of the game. I was worried the girl wouldn't get up. If there is ever a case for a red card in girls lax, that is it.
The turf field in Allentown is a lawsuit waiting to happen. I heard that Saturday afternoon there was a significant injury is almost every game. My daughter said the field was slow bad you had to slow down into ground balls.
YJ and Heros both need to upgrade at draw specialist. They have a ton of talent on their teams, but you won't win at the elite level winning 30% of draws.
That was a tough game for M&D against Skywalkers. Lost a really good defender to another ankle injury (not saying turf was the culprit but...) and yes, that was a downright awful play with a severe crosscheck to the face. Should have been a red card. Some hits are tough. But that one was brutal.
I know the girl who did the hit, wasn’t intentional and came off the field asking if girl was ok post game. She wasn’t fast enough on slide and missed girls body
