As predicted? You must be Nostradamus, what a leap to predict that.

As predicted NU lit up ohio st - can't see how or why Ohio st is in the top 20, they have zero quality wins and several bad losses. BC and Loyola will pass them in the final rankings - towson and or Hopkins should slip from top 20 as well [/quote]

So now you think they r good. Got it. Should easily take care of a top 20 team, got it.

Which is it moron? As predicted, NU is an #8-12 team in the country. Said it a month ago, still holds true today. Not a team many would like to see in the tournament. Having said that, they are likely not a final 8 team this year. If they get there, would consider it a success at this point, and certainly would continue to make you look like an idiot.

Look moron, we all knew they would beat another over rated Ohio State team, even if we were rooting against it (and you). The question here is how you think beating a team ranked behind them in the poll means anything. And when they tied the score in the 2nd half, I would have just loved to see your face get redder by the second. Their best player took over and that team is just not very good. And certainly not top 10 as you continue to try to convince us. 8 to 12 nope. And I see you are no longer trying to put them as one of the top teams in the NCAA. You've lowered the bar now, we can all see it, will they even get to your lowered target?

Do we need a tournament this year? Can anyone top Maryland? This will be a boring bad end for the sport if this happens, again.

It's Maryland's tournament to lose. They've beaten everyone they've played, fairly comfortably, and are the clear favorites. They have depth, talent, speed, IQ, coaching, etc...
Another Maryland championship!

And importantly have remained healthy. Always a key. They have had no injuries to major players.

Thank god for the Northwestern near decade of dominance, otherwise it would have been two decades of Maryland.

Great game today for the ACC title. Shame it had to come down to the refs being involved. Stick checks shouldn't be look at the stick until you find something wrong with it. Players stick was ruled legal but then they looked at it again until they found something. Referee shouldn't have a card to refer to so she can figure out if a stick is illegal. Rules are a joke.

One coach makes adjustments at halftime and one doesn't! Several times Hofstra tied or close at half and get blown out in the second half - that's ALL coaching. or lack thereof. Thankfully the season is over, good luck to those stuck there next year

SPORT NEEDS NEW AND MORE WINNERS. America doesn't care about a sport that only has ever had 4 or 5 winners over the last 3 decades. Here is hoping for a monster upset

PM from Adelphi will be Hofstra coach next year.

Too soon to leave for Pat, if he jumps now, he will look like he is too much of an opportunist. He has to hope she lasts another year.

an upset would help. and the game is hard to watch. too many players crowded below the 30 yard restraining line, too much crosschecking and one on one play. ugly to watch most of the time.

Remember PM is an ICON

Only thing is that he has the press clippings to prove it.

Yup, that seems to be the chatter but what about the fact that SS just got contract renewal? What happens to that, does she get paid either way?

SS isn't going anywhere. Program doesn't bring in any money so they don't have to pay her much. Firing her now would mean paying two coaches instead of one. As for halftime adjustments, how about just getting the girls out on the field with enough time to warm up for 2nd half. Came out against Elon with 30 seconds before start of 2nd half and proceeded to give up 5 goals in 4 minutes. Game was over before they even broke a sweat.

They have their full complement of scholarships and their average attendance is 275. They are losing their shirts like most fully funded mid level programs. No way they fire SS and eat the contract so their team could jump up from #78 to #35? Isn't meaningful enough to make the change. Now PM at the end of SS new contract could happen. PM isn't leaving LI so he will still be local at that time. Plus the pipeline of absolute studs will continue to Adelphi so he will continue to pad his resume accomplishments which is already 5 pages long

When Hofstra is much closer to LIU Brooklyn than LI Stony Brook in the rankings there is a huge problem over in Hempstead

What? No movement up for NG? It's do or die for them right now. 8-9 is out. It's a one game playoff for them.

Just give Maryland the trophy YAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWNNNNNN

You don't watch a lot of NCAA women's lacrosse

Uhhhhhhh......NW???

Please, been watching for 20 years

Actually NU ... he is just bitter that his girl couldn't get into or play at such a great place. He thinks he's funny, but he's not.

And the Old Bitty Poll does not know how to handle things like SOS and RPI very well. Hard for their brains to process it all (impossible for little bitter guy). Laxpower does though, and has NU ranked 8th. That ranking even includes the Old Bitty Poll as an input.

Pretty accurate now that the whole regular season has been played.

Someone has a chance to knock Maryland off in the NCAAs. It will be someone who plays great D and has a great goalie if it's going to happen. Don't believe anyone can out gun them in a shootout. Maybe a UNC or even upstart USC has a chance. Not a great one, but a chance.

It will not be fifteenth ranked Northworstern, that's for sure!

May get a chance to see it this weekend.... Preview of possible Final Four match up. Never say never.

What's your point? You got a team not named Maryland that you think can win?

Never

You do realize not everyone thinks N.U is as wonderful as you do. You come across as an arrogant [lacrosse]. Just out of curiosity, did you go to N.U. ?

Hey anti NW guy , give it a break. I am not a NW fan but it's obvious you have an obsession and it most likely is a result of some perceived wrong that happened to your kid . Maybe they rejected her or maybe some kid that goes there was always favored over your kid , who knows but give it a rest , it's just pathetic and sad.

If this is in reply to the post just before it , I'm a different person than the one you're sparing with, N.U. Is a good school, but it's not for everyone. It must be hard for you it imagine, but some kids don't want to go there. I'm glad your daughter got into the school of your dreams, but you coming on here and saying anyone that didn't choose N.U. Was slighted or not smart enough to get in makes you look like an unbelievable tool. Let's face it , there team did not perform well this year. You never answered the question, did you go to N.U. or are you just living your dream through your kid.

Your clinging to the coat tails of a formerly successful program in the face of a poor season as if you were actually a participant is what is pathetic and sad. Let's hope one and done puts you out of your misery.

There are several different people on here on both sides. Their team didn't perform up to their own standards for sure. Those standards are very high. But they are a good team. This is a women's college lacrosse forum. Why don't you try putting forth a topic or argument about something more relevant than calling people tools. You sound like one when you do that.

What team do you think has a chance to knock off Maryland?
What do you think about the rule changes implemented this year now that we have seen them for a full regular season?
What do you think of the shot clock as it is currently structured for next year?
Who should be coach of the year this year?
Where should there be coaching changes?
What do you think of the spread west and south of programs and how that will shape the future of college lacrosse?

Want some more?

What do you think about the rule changes implemented this year now that we have seen them for a full regular season?

Like being able to kick the ball.

Like the quick restart, but think you should be able to do it in your own defensive critical scoring area.

Don't like the 3-second rule being essentially eliminated by making it a minor foul. Too many teams packing it in with very little consequences. Just have to look locally at SB. It's boring and rewards poor defense.

Cue the dumb guy w:

Coaching changes: NW Amonte-Hiller

Knock off Maryland: Not NG hahaha ...

1 no one will beat MD. 2 don't like the fast restart, they should go to the men's format of everyone can move on the dead ball whistle, ball restarts on refs whistle. 3 can't really give an opinion on shot clock but hope it works, will definitely fix some of the stall issue . Cathy Reese until someone can beat her. 5 at many schools. Some coaches are no longer producing as they once did. Say spread of the game is good but still need to disperse top talent evenly. And here is one for you, don't you think only the 3 woman on the draw circle should be able to be between the restraining lines until there is possession gained by one of them or until the ball crosses the line. It's a mess on the draw hard to watch with too many Ricky dink fouls determining possession, especially in critical situations
