#17 Stony Brook beat unranked Drexel (1-3) 8-4 at LaValle Stadium.

Sorry powder but Hofstra was never in it. Got there about % min in and it was 4-1. As far as "The Hop" goes I don't know what a good showing is, but the Terps were up by 10 with less then 10 min. left and the Terps changed goalies, and pulled out all starters, and even with that they only put in 2. Then shot up to Stony Brook and caught the second half vs. Drexel. Very unimpressed with the "best team in N.Y" as I have read on this site. When I got there it was about 3 min. in the second S.B. up 4-1. The dragons pulled to within 3 but the Sea Wolves thuggery was able to beat any life from them. Can't wait for N.D. to hand them a bating.

Don't apologize to me, I didn't offer any commentary, only part of a box score.

My comment simply meant that statistically Hofstra was not embarrassed and was at least competitive with the #1 team in the nation. Since you admittedly don't know what a "good showing" means its that.
I appreciate your time and effort to catch these two games and report back to us. Was a Se-Port Deli sandwich part of the day at least?? I hope so, you deserve it!!

Is the Thugery comment a shot at the YJ players?

Looking forward to the SB v ND game next Tuesday night. Teams played an 8-7 game last year should be a fun local game

YJs are not in "attendance" if you know what I mean.
This is not the YJ thread. Go there to start arguments please.

Thats right Hop you are far more clever , and smarter than I . Judging by a stat sheet and all. Great showing by Hofstra

I'm glad you agree.

If you look at the final stats/score, you may think it was a good showing, but you would be wrong. Powerhouse teams will handle blowout mis matches differently. Give credit to MD for their good sportsmanship because that game could have been 25-2 final.

To me The interesting stat above is draw controls: Taylor Cummings is a force on draws, apparently Hofstra was able to match her. I wasn't there can anyone who saw the game comment

If you look at the rest of the box score, which you can find on Hoftra's site, you will see MD subbed in their bench, so presumably TC was not taking all the draws.

Hofstra was outstanding battling MD on draw. That's said could of been a bigger blowout . Maryland was very very kind

Mark your calendars, April 21 is Hofstra vs Stony Brook, at hofstra. Should be a great local battle hopefully with warmer weather to boot.

Both programs are doing a great job of bringing relevant college lacrosse to LI. Great for our kids

AMEN to warmer weather! I am so over this snow and cold.

All of you stop it the Hop looked at the box scores and said Hofstra did well. Who do you think you are to question such a lacrosse master as he

No. 5 Duke Cruises Past Notre Dame With Ease 17-3.

Bad loss for ND!

Watctch out, if they lose to SB, they could drop from top 20.

It must be because there are only 3 YJ on roster

How many times does a big school with a coast to coast schedule fly during the season? How do the girls at a school like Northwestern do it? Seems like they might never be in class in the spring.

is there a stat to look up what HS or district has the most College D1 players.

McDonough I would guess

Was the behind the back shot by Fortunato showboating or smart? Also, in the recruiting process seems like the go to he goal/charge girls are sought out before the feeders. Thoughts?

I would agree and so would their parents especially when they back out and reset multiple times without passing. Lots of D1 coaches like selfish drivers which feeds the beast at the club level. Everyone thinks they can teach passing but going to the cage is tougher

Coaches want the players who can do both, plus play hard pressure ride/defense. There are plenty of complete package girls at the D1 level. They will also pick up those other one dimensional players and get production out of them, but obviously would prefer a player who can get it done on all fronts.

Yes, I agree. Sad, but true, and in all sports, not just lax.

Congrats to Bay Shore's Kyra Harney. Scored her second hat trick of her Freshman season!!! After lumping up Notre Dame last week and beating VATech, Duke on a roll early this season...

When does the first top 100 ranking come out?

All schools are ranked by LaxPower.com. Go there.

what teams have LI girls helping their schools rise in the rankings

Do you really pick a school by their lacrosse ranking by some website or by their academic standings listed by Time or US News?

Laxpower is not an official ranking organization. They report the weekly IWLCA rankings and have a weekly forum poll. Some of the voters on the forum polls are extremely knowledgeable, some are complete homer kooks. They also have a computer ranking system which tries to compensate for win, loss, strength of schedule, quality wins,etc... As you know stats don't tell the story so the computer rankings are often sketchy at best. But it is a good site especially for a game by game breakdown of all relevant teams.

We all know lacrosse parents in this day and age that after paying 10 years to be on some clubs C team that their kid is going to play in college even if its $60,000 per year and at a school that you only need an 800 SAT for admission.
Get a tutor and get those grades up and then pick a top academic school

With all the bragging and criticizing that is done on this site about club teams and college choices I found this to be enlightening. Its Payscale.com list of best return on investment (R.O.I) of12,00 + colleges
