Anyone know how Hofstra did today?

How about a big hand for all the freshman representing LI, with some outstanding play, at the highest level. Really good showing so far. Congratulations to all.

I guess this is a rhetorical question? They got killed 20-5.

5 Hofstra 15 Maryland

TERRIBLE

It's very strange. NU is a much much much better school than where your daughter is attending. And it's much much much better at lacrosse. So a student athlete there is BOTH getting a better education AND a better lacrosse experience. You, my friend, are one jealous man.

Serious question please don't get nasty- since SS hand picked this roster, and With the graduate player dominating and the considering the current losing streak, should a verbal recruit consider other options? Just doesn't seem like there is any teamwork, more like run to the goal.

No reason to panic on Hofstra, no matter what the YJ people might imply. The roster is dominated by sophomores and freshmen. This occurs from time to time in every sport in college. Next year and the year after will be much better. Why isn't anyone talking about the weak performance of Navy (dominated by BC), or JMU (barely beat Denver), or Johns Hopkins (lost to Ohio State) or any other team that isn't playing up to their usual standards? Of course, as we all know, it's the YJ pukes trying to stir up a bunch of crap. Childish and silly behavior.

Why don't you ask CR? Isn't that where all you YJ'ers get your marching orders and information.

Georgetown is 0-4. Ask CR for permission to bash them.

That's how SS played the game, but her recruits aren't up to the challenge, she cant or wont ever adjust, keep pounding a square peg into a round hole and let me know how it works out. I believe the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over and expect a different result - that's her coaching style

you're spending $60,000.00 for a liberal arts major,Your best hope is that she meets a man that can stand to be with her for more than a minuet at a time, but if she's anything like her mother that isn't going to happen. She obviously gets her intelligence from her mother also, what dope would drop that much money and on Liberal Arts. My daughter has a real major that your daughter could't handle alone, never mind play lacrosse at the same time, and she will not be going into the demanding field of Liberal Arts like yours is so the chances oh my kid working for yours is very remote. But that was a predictable response from a NU parent, snobbish and boorish, You think because your little darling goes to a school it will automatically equal success....... we'll see what happens when mommy has to stop lobbying for everything for her and she needs to stand on her own. The good news for her is when you finally expire, like we all will, hopefully you and your "husband" leave her a good inheritance, maybe then he will become attractive enough to land a husband

And by the way your daughter is all the proof needed that NU isn't recruiting well

To all posters and Moderators I apologize for the recent posts, It is difficult to have an anonymous poster personally attack your daughter because of MY opinion and I will stop

Is this nonsense being posted by adults ?

No one has the right to attack your daughter. I will see if I can find it.

Only a jealous coward who feels their life is completely empty would do that. I am sorry that it happened.

To the TG player committed to Hofstra, or any girl wanting to play in college.Go to a school that you will be happy at both on and off the field, If you are going to go into debt for college make sure that you receive a degree that will allow you to make a decent living. Lacrosse will only last 4 years, without playoffs thats 62 games, if your going to invest the time and money go to a school where you will play in games. Study hard and become good at what you major in and the name on the top of the diploma will not mean as much as the character of it's recipient. there are successful people from hundreds of schools. Be happy, play hard and study hard, success will follow. What I consider most important is do not mortgage your future for a game, remember only 62 game are guaranteed so choose a school for a major not a lacrosse program because you will spend far more time at a job than on a lacrosse field......bee smart not a lemming

If your best friend plays for YJ, then why would you call them "YJ Pukes". Seems that you are contradicting yourself. Re-read before you hit "submit" and clarify yourself when need be (hopefully you meant to refer to PUKES as only the parents who spout off). Otherwise you are just part of the problem.

If you are indeed a student, good luck! (still some doubt, but assuming so). Don't look here or to any online source other than reputable (no offense BOTC), source on academics and how it will set you on a path to your future career (also look into graduating rates of your selected school for athletes, this will give you an idea of the level of academic support these athletic departments give their athletes). Lax will enhance your college experience, but it still will be the secondary purpose of going to a school. Primary is your education and the leg up it will give you in life. Lax is great if it gets you into a better academic school than you may have if you were a regular student, and/or any sort of financial assistance is great no matter how small. Lax will also give you access you scheduling preferences, student advisors and tutors through the athletic department that you wont have to pay for and other regular students don't have access to, you will also make great friends who share a common passion for sport. So those are also additional benefits of being a student athlete. Go play lax and do your thing because you have a life, all of us old adults have made our kids our lives so we spend too much time here (if you're here people it's the truth, not bashing just saying, myself included).

I think she made a mistake when she posted. Another poster wrote the part of the answer that starts at "No reason to panic..." She put her part ahead of another poster.

Amen! Great advice. Academics/major first-lacrosse second. Even new programs that don't have much chance of winning may be the right fit for a player, or a traditionally "weak" team may be the right fit. Do not fall into the trap of choosing your school based on peer pressure.

SS was the best YJ ever.......

Long Island freshman ripping it up at D1. Syracuse attacker, Boston College attacker, Notre Dame goalie and attacker, Florida middie and attacker.

post 153330 ... It is in fact MKVELE who singled out a specific girl with details that started this.

just watched SB v Fla Stony brook looked very good

That's correct thank you. And thank you to everyone for your advice. I'm torn between an up and coming D2 school with new dorms and and a great business program that will give me more money than Hofstra. It also seems more comfortable, so I'm going to visit again. Would be great graduate debt free.

I agree was speaking to a parent I know from SB and they were without two midfield starters Was awesome for my daughter to see such a great evenly matched game Two goal posts for SB turned out to be important. Very large crowd as well.

Nice win for Florida today. They definitely looked better than SB, leading most of the game. SB put up a good fight, we're just overplayed!

Was there too, rooting for SB. Scary part is Florida played the sloppiest game ever and still won. If they played a clean game, would have been a blowout. SB needs to start recruiting draw specialists, got killed on the draw today. Sick behind the back shot!

All these games will be much better next year when the team with the lead cant go and hide for the last 8 minutes of the game

I'd like to see them recruit outside of NY/LI as well. I think they would contend with a mix from players from outside NY.

Certainly correct about crowd, that was an all time record crowd for a SB game by almost double.

SB was outcoached, but nice effort !

Glad to hear that. So much interest and great lacrosse here on LI.

SB held the ball for more than three minuets twice with under 10 minuets left in the game. They just passed it around with no real urgency to score while down by a goal. You can't really say that thats the team with the lead hiding can you

Florida is a team with better players and a better coach. That's why they won and are ranked #2 . Please stop. SB tried, but the better team won! Was fun to watch!

So you were rooting for SB but you've watched every game of Florida close enough to compare "sloppiest" efforts. Clearly you posted w an agenda Go a step further as SB was missing two starting midfielders ? Nah just half the facts. Florida has top two recruits in country and ranked #2 and only beat SB by one. Floridas coach holds the clip board and stands there. SB is clearly a better coached squad evident by a one goal game w a much higher ranked team. Facts only please. I've only heard about both these teams and went in open minded Very entertaining game that's my assessment I know players and parents on both teams. Interesting how SB D held top Florida players quiet and Florida played Ohmiller really well. Great day for LI LACROSSE Spallina is building something special there that place was jumping today
