Biggest D1 surprises that didn't make tournament from pre season hype and after the final seasons results?

There are always some underachievers and some teams that don't get those at large bids they were hoping for

Look at 3 of the top 5 point leaders in Div1 are all LI girls. Nice job! Great to be able to go see a local girl play at a local college and dominate the game as a freshman. It was only a year ago everyone on here was tearing her apart on the HSvarsity thread, now she's the toast of the town, good for her! Got some great NCAA tournament games coming up on LI this weekend, get out and enjoy.

Two of the 5 women Tewaaraton award finalists are from LI, Northport and Garden City. One from upstate and another from New Caanan CT.
Only one from Maryland.. although she'll be the one that wins

Two out of 5 from LI on the mens side also

Will any games be televised or available to view on line this weekend? Thank you

Go to any of the websites for the schools you are interested to watch. Usually a link in the schedule area to watch.

Stony Brook - 4

Princeton - 8

One and done, no surprise

Don't see how that isn't surprising but it's definitely disappointing.

Maryland
Northwestern

Loyola
Syracuse


duke
Princeton

Penn State
North Carolina

Predictions?

Thank you, I wish they aired as many women's games as they do mens

I agree

Seems alike the bye hurt them. Looks like the extended rest hurts teams. Saw it today w some men's games as well Slow starts. Tougher to rebound in wlax

That's great! Just wish I could've seen JS's reaction!

I was not able to watch the game in person as I traveled south for another game (more on that later). Trying to "reconstruct" the game from the boxscore play by play. Tough loss. The lack of improvement post-season has to be a concern.

I was in Salisbury for what might have been one of the best lacrosse games I have watched, any division, in a long time. Defending champ Salisbury lost in OT to Hamilton. Officiating was good, fans for both teams were great and, for a second round D3 game (they can be blow outs shaking out the lesser teams), a great matchup.

NESCAC went 5-0 today, solidifying their standing as the best D3 conference. But watch out for Cortland. Could finally be their year.

I don't think this was any big surprise- there were lots of upsets yesterday. I wish our local teams faired better and your reaction is typical of someone that only wishes good for himself. Why would you be so excited for a team of hard working kids and coaches to have lost? They did prove people wrong all season. Seems as if you've been burnt before and like to see others fail. I think SB deserves a lot of praise and Im proud of all the LI kids that represented our area as they moved up the ladder this season. Can't wait to see what they do next year.

It's not surprising because Princeton is a very strong program and has been for years. The Tigers play a tough schedule and have wins over two of the final eight teams this season. Princeton beat Loyola, Penn State and Penn-(twice) this season and played some other very good teams including Maryland and Virginia.

Stony Brook put some good programs on the schedule this year but year to date Notre Dame (11-9), Florida (15-6) and Northwestern (14-6) have not performed the way they have in the past.

Stony Brook is athletic, talented and well coached. The Seawolves had a great season with some big wins over great programs they will be back next year.

Will Stony Brook be hosting the Women's Championship again?

Princeton just passed the ball around for the last 8 minutes and there was nothing SBU could do. Was a total bore to watch at that point. NCAA needs to institute a shot clock for the Women's game similar to the Men's game. "The fastest game on two feet" does not apply in any way to Women's Lax. It is a shame. But easily corrected.

Watched game on ESPN3. Princeton played well and their goalie and defense really stepped up. I know it was a disappointing loss for Stony Brook, but to me going in I thought it was a toss up.

One thing that bothered me happened w 3:05 left. Princeton lost control of the ball momentarily, but then recovered it and immediately called timeout. The players put their sticks down -- all but one, SB player #22, who was 5 yards to the midfield side of the ball. As the refs and players turn away to go to the sidelines, #22 throws her stick to where the player w the ball's stick is on the ground. I looked up #22 on the roster. No surprise she is from Northport High and undoubtedly a YJ. That is bush league stuff. Play the game the right way. Integrity matters.

Nice win, Princeton.

Normally don't love calling out a kid like this, but I saw that as well and was shocked that she would make it so obvious. Not great sportsmanship there, but then again, it was an extremely tough game and I guess some players will stoop to low levels in order to try and win

I didn't see the play and I don't want to single anyone out but I can tell you it runs rampant at PAL games with girls who play YJ's. They all encroach, they and move after the whistle and they all seem to bend the rules until caught or are warned. It goes unnoticed most of the time but it gives the players a big advantage. Watch them, they all smile when they are getting away with it. They clearly know its wrong

So I wouldn't normally single someone out, but in this instance it is deserved. Don't cheat and you won't be singled out, how about that as a rule? This also points out how poor some of the rules and procedures are in women's lax. From situations like this, to walking after the whistle, to repositioning on 8 meters etc. Everything is too loose and too easy to manipulate. It is a shame that many young women are systematically taught to cheat, though. Anyone who argues otherwise is either naive, or part of the problem.

Happend last year in the finals at Dowling also. Y.J. girls from Mt. S sores and as she walks back to the draw she's tightening her strings. It's still cheating and a show of bad character.

So this Stony Brook player was not only a former Yellow Jacket but also a Northport HS alum? My daughter too! You know, I always suspected that my daughter was a bad egg... I'm disinheriting her, as of right now.

Who has the best chance at pulling off an upset this weekend?

here are the games:

Maryland
Northwestern

Loyola
Syracuse


Duke
Princeton

Penn State
North Carolina

I think Loyola has the best chance followed by Penn State and then Princeton. Northwestern has the toughest road to the Final Four.

Hopefully one of the teams can pull off an upset.

I can see Loyola possibly pulling one out if they can shut off Treanor. Penn State has been very impressive this season, but not sure if they'll be able to take down UNC - it really depends on how both goalies play. Normally I would say Princeton has no shot, but this reason they have really stepped up their game and I wouldn't be shocked to see them take down Duke. Northwestern is on a downward spiral, probably because of the insane coach (my daughter has several friends who play for her - she sounds like an absolute nightmare), so I highly doubt that they will be able to beat Maryland...but then again, if Ohio State was able to do it, never say never.
