This is the dumbest thing I've ever read. A safe place to go? Because the world is so very safe. I got news for you Dad - your 18 year old princess can get drafted to fight in a war now. Not exactly a safe place to go. If you 18 year old can't handle being "bullied" then you've failed as a parent. Wait until she comes to work for a real boss. Are you going to call them too? Because they'll enjoy firing her with you still on the phone to hear her tears. Good job Dad.

Small detail, there is no draft! The armed services are all volunteer you dope.

LMAO, the guy letting his daughter be abused is possibly the most disgusting parent comment I have seen on this site. Its your daughter you dope if she cannot count on support from her own father I really feel bad for the kid, and yes an 18 year old is still just a kid. Its sad for her and I hope her mother is not some uncaring moron also.

Typical JS keeping the NCAA's leading goal scorer in the game to pad her stats when it's 15-0. He does it with his club teams too. zero class

Pretty general statement. Best for one might not be best for another. Do we really care this much about NU on this site?

OK fine lets play that game. Harvard is not a good fit for my daughter. She is better off at Adelphi etc. Blah blah blah ...

Best mix of Academics and high level lax in no particular order ... Stanford, NU, ND, Duke, Princeton, Penn, Virginia, Hopkins ... bunch right behind UNC, USC, BC, Cornell, Harvard ... That second group is very strong on one side (UNC for lax Harvard for Academics) and still good on the other.

Amongst those schools, there is a great fit any good student. Now if your daughter is not a good student, that's a different conversation.

There how's that? More specific? Original statement still stands. The best school in that original list is NU.

Just stop it, NU is NG. No matter how hard you try.

Hello again angry guy w daughter who didn't measure up to your hopes and dreams ... I wish her well ... and great distance from you so that she may recover her self esteem and do wonderful things with her life.

Picking the right school includes the coach. Many kids who have gone to NU regret doing so. Even some who won National Championships. That is a fact.

At the beginning of the season I posted that I thought USC was ready to take the next step into the top 10. I stated that the jedi had learned well from the master and that west coast lacrosse was going to get a big boost from another strong, contending program along side Stanford. I was roundly ridiculed on here. I would like you all to acknowledge now that my prediction has come true. Munday et al have established themselves as a top notch program in just 4 short years, following the pattern of NU 15 years ago. They have outstanding recruiting classes coming in future years as well, including the best MF on LI this year. Kudos to the coaches and players for doing what most east coasters thought was impossible (again!). --- funny coincidence that the code verification to submit this post starts w NU2B ... maybe so!!

Name them. They are not kids any more. The board rules are fine with you putting their names here. Go for it.

I wouldn't call it regret. Its more like the bloom came off the rose by the time they graduated.

Wow! Many kids regret going to many places when they don't get playing time etc. Now we are going to say KAH is not a great coach. OK. You have zero credibility.

I personally know dozens of players from those NU teams. They to a woman say KAH was tough, but also one of the most influential people in their entire lives. That the lessons they learned from her have stayed with them and they use them all the time. They look back on their years at NU as some of the greatest times of their lives. Most still show up to each others weddings etc. So go on, keep being negative if you want. KAH is one of the greatest coaches not only in women's lacrosse, but in Big Ten history across any sport. Don't believe me? Watch the video ... https://vimeo.com/41340927

I know women who have played at most top programs over the last 15 years. Many of them differ greatly on their coaches and their experiences. I would have my daughters play for KAH in a second if they could.

She rides the girls almost 7 hours on some days coupled with it being zero degrees for most of the school year. Should be a great education but very few of the girls take majors that mean anything. No different than most of the top 10 lacrosse schools. Lacrosse is a job, its not fun. You are there to play lacrosse and that's it

Checked the box score - she scored 5 out of 8 of her goals in the second half after leading 8-0 at the break. Last one with 3 minutes left and the score 15-0. Guess he's hoping the T award people will only look at numbers, not situations.

I'm just a parent too. I don't have a "program" either. Your quote "Why not just admit that your program used to be in the conversation for the national title" ... so since you put it in those terms, what's your program?? I observe that you are just a jealous hater. The likely guess is that you are a parent of a sub par athlete and student who would have no shot of being at a school like NU. Why else would you hate so much??

That is just uninformed ... you can go look at the majors. Many young woman are taking very meaningful majors. And at a school like NU, that is truly impressive.

Stony Brook going to put a beat down on Hofstra tonight.

10 more points for Murph

In what was a lopsided PAL game! The fact that SB tried to get a goal for every senior, including defenders was an indication of how overmatched Hofstra was, SB played with them the entire second half - embarrassing to watch if you're a Hofstra fan

Do spallina and smith have the same time coaching each team?
