BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) 2016 Women's College Lacrosse Season

you're on the HS thread, not the college thread

Really? Better check that.

Nice, hard fought win for HU yesterday over a solid (not great) Columbia team. It's not a season-defining win but it is a win that shows progress. A young team growing up. The graduate player dominated scoring but lots of young players contributed too...especially the freshman goalie Fields.

SB is rolling....

They are rolling and it doesn't look like thy have any really tough games left. Need a deep playoff run to be impressive though.

It doesn't serve them well not to have any tough games left.

I think they would admit for themselves that they have to win a couple of tournament games to claim any level of success. They set the bar high. Now they have to get there or listen to us saying they underachieved.

you're right on the mark in my opinion. the zone has girls packing it in already. its gotten harder and harder to get a clean shot off. thus the sidearm shots and the between the legs shots like trainor and sj tracy.

"uglier" is a good way to describe where wlax is heading. how about 6 players in the zone instead of 7? and a midfield restraining line instead of a cramped 30 yard zone. yah cant get girls out in space dodging and running the way it is now. its like Knicks Pistons circa 1993. just a wrestling match out there now. touch to watch.

does Amanda O'Leary from Florida know you are directly quoting her??? those are the exact instructions she yelled out for 4 years to her ball hog YJ midfielder. and the mindset that cost her at least 1 NCAA title. sad...

And the same mind set that got Amonte 3 of her championships yelling to get the ball to her ball hog YJ attacker.

Katrina Dowd played for Yellow Jackets? I thought she was from upsate somewhere???

ITS FREAKING UGLY NO MATTER WHAT TEAM DOES IT!

when does NU make the run we've been told is coming?

Who has told you that? Point to that post please?

4-6 is shameful

not great. Shameful probably a bit strong given they have the #1 strength of schedule in the country. But the Penn loss is a bad one for them. Puts them at risk of missing the NCAA tournament. But likely 8-2 if they had Stony Brook's schedule. So is Stony Brook's 7-3 record shameful?

2 - 1 goal losses for Stony Brook

Florida and Northwestern

Not talking about SB and you know it's dumb to suggest what any teams record would be. It's a losing record for NU and its embarrassing 4 and 6 OUCH.

You are what your record says you are. Right now they are on the wrong side of the average line. SHAMEFUL!

Yes u r ... a below average team for the top 15, which is the schedule they play. Puts them in the 10-15 range right now, which is where they r. You likely have trouble w logic. Go ahead shout again. You have anger issues.

It doesn't make a difference, there's MD and then there's everyone else - realistically the top four teams right now are probably the final four in May, maybe 1-2 other teams have a shot at getting there, but nobody beats MD

Completely agree with that. MD is a wagon. The only team that I think has even a remote chance of hanging with them is UNC. And that's only if Waters plays out of her mind in goal.

I'm still taking the only 5 teams to win the nat champ from the last 25 years. Women's lax continues to be like women's basketball. Not enough good talent to go around. Maryland, NC, NW, Virginia, Princeton. This year it looks like Maryland again. A wildcard winner would be great for the sport.

Bad year to compare to women's basketball (even though UConn was never in doubt) - 3 of the Final 4 teams were first timers.

Besides Maryland good luck predicting other three teams to final 4

But who won? That's the problem others cant break through. UConn won by something like 30

There is enough talent to go around. The problem is that it doesn't go around.......it all goes to Maryland!!!

NOT

Is SB for real?

I think that we can officially stop with the Hofstra winning CAA or somehow moving in the right direction, 20-8 loss to JMU today and 6 of the goals were scored by the grad student from UNC doesn't leave much to hang your hat on going forward

SB is all set. They got their leading goal scorer for another year. She had a huge game yesterday, she def should be put on the T list after that game.

Shouldn't there be more justification for putting her on the list if she could do that against one of the big names? Not sure how the list works. Is it just numbers or is it put into perspective with the how they produce in the big games?

Hofstra will not win another game this season. Who's going to score next season when the grad student leaves ?

NU 17 ND 12

Shelby Fredricks is a draw monster

Another horrible loss for halfpenny, she can't manage a game to save her life, with all the talent on the roster how much longer does she last?

Crazy year

Still under .500?

Nope nice try ... 6-6

toughest schedule in the nation. starting quite a few sophomores and freshman. They aren't a great team, but a very good one. And a tough out for everyone except maybe the top couple teams in the country. What is your team?
