Did they send 2 teams?

YJ Sent 2 teams, yes.

Mass Elite 2019... they are top 5....

Nope. Sorry.

Liberty crushing mnd is a surprise and keeping close with SW is impressive. Mnd had their whole team there. Good job Liberty. Mnd has taken a few steps back under Robinson. I hear McDonough is worried about a loss or two this year. We shall see.

What are the top 5 - 2019 teams this year?

Def top 5...maybe even top 3 in the state of Massachusetts.

is that a joke def number 1 is Massachusetts by far! and def top 5 in the country.

They were being sarcastic. What makes you think they are top 5 in the country ,please tell us other top teams they have beaten in a championship style tournament during the summer season. Fall, showcase results do not count for much and do not try the UA nonsense again.

Can we ask Liberty the same question.

If showcase events do not count for anyone, including yj, then be prepared for a few more summers of 'not counting'. Almost all tournaments during the high school recruiting years are showcase style, as it should be. However, to the delight of the yj, this will give them a few more summers to manufacture excuses for why they lose since they don't usually put all of their best players together for a showcase event. The ones that are committed quit, "graciously" leaving the field of play to the lesser-talented players. Based on their logic, there should be zero players left on their teams by the time they get to the summer after junior year, since they'll all be committed by then. Not enough girls left to field a team.

Now you get it...Your club had its chance to win meaningful tournaments, can't blame anyone but yourself for failing...

"Winning" a tournament doesn't mean anything, especially to young ladies. It only means something to the yj parents.

Some great list of teams you have beaten in championship tournaments . Now you know why no one thinks you are top 5 .

You all do realize that "winning" a championship tournament doesn't really mean anything, right? The only people who truly care about these trivial types of things are the yj lemmings. College coaches do not care who wins.

If you think that winning tournaments doesn't mean anything to the girls then I assume your daughter has never won one. My daughter and her teammates take great pride in the number of tournaments they have won and it's a big reason they work so hard. If you don't believe me check out the smack talk on social media between the girls after a tournament.

why the hate for Liberty? You never see there supporters on here pounding their chest, they never say they're "top 5 in the country", they rarely come on this site to defend D.G. when other "top clubs" bash her. they had a good tournament playing in a tough division, can't you people just say congratulations and wish what is a humble bunch of kids and parents good luck? Why such venom twards a club you deem beneath you?

miss this one?

Miss this?

How about this one?

humble parents?

Don't despair, our Liberty brethren. You have friends in MD. As you are familiar with, putting other teams and players down (sometimes personally) is a classic yj bully tactic. I wouldn't take it personally. They are but mindless drones of CR. They know not what they do. I would take their nervous reactions as a compliment. They are clearly feeling the heat. Keep up the pressure.

Baloney! It matters to YOU, not them. They move on from wins and losses within an hour.

Feeling the heat? Liberty is 0-for lifetime against yj...Who you kidding, Liberty has no friends in md.

What a loser ..

You actually monitor teenage girls smack talk? You truly are a sick person. Get help!

No I don't monitor it. But I do interact with my daughter. Do you just lock yours in her room? She finds it funny the nonsense the girls send back and forth to each other.

Stop w the championship style tournament crap. You mean the 20 minute nonsense games? The reason ME is a top 5 team is because thats what the college coaches say. Ask them if you want. The commit list is impressive, but doesn't show you who recruited them, just what they and their families chose. 5 could have chosen UNC. 4 chose not to and 1 is still deciding. Several have also turned down Duke for other places. Hard to argue w their choices. Stanford, ND, 3 NU, Princeton, Harvard, Richmond, UMASS and more great ones coming ... it isn't a race. They will all be committed to great places.

Okay I asked the college coaches and they said you are not top 5 so I guess that ends this conversation. If they were offered Duke but took UMass and Richmond I can argue fairly easily with there choices .

your kidding right? that is the best you can come up with? A statement of fact , a question, and 1 statement that could have been sarcastic and written by you? At no point does that poster really brag, weren't you surprised by the score of those games? the poster ( assuming it's the same one) never really brags or pounds their chest the way you Y.J. parents do. I could make a list of quotes from your club thousands deep, but I'll just refer tp this very thread where you yourself say girls suck and how much better YOUR club is. Here's the kicker, as you and your fellow Y.J. parents continue bashing young woman because you don't deem them good enough to wear bee gear, after this post you probably wount here from another Liberty parent for months, though you will probably continue to bash them and there Director. good luck to you.

Dontcha know? Middle school girls lacrosse tournament championships are important...to yj. Mommy and Daddy yj get to brag to their friends that little bee's team won a tournament, and got a t-shirt. They also get fodder to belittle the other clubs. It really means a lot to them.

Teams coming on here bragging they went 3-1 in a showcase tournament is any better?

So let me get this straight, you clowns want your kids travel lacrosse team to be considered a top 5 team in the country but do not want championship style tournaments to be considered. Then you want it based on college coaches opinions and where these kids commit to unless of course those commitments are for YJ players .Then you want it based on where mommy and daddy said they could have committed to but did not. Okay.

I don't care what you consider them. It's what they r. But it doesn't matter anyway. What matters is that they r great kids, great teammates and great students. Their amazing lacrosse ability is fun to watch, but doesn't define them as people.

No, it's not really any better. Showcase event results are mostly irrelevant. But, the difference is most other clubs can talk about how their team did in a tournament, and do it with some civility, whereas yj people have to be very demonstrative and boast about their little bee's all-worldly talents while at the same time they are calling the players on the other teams "suck" and "worthless" etc. It's like the yj people are very insecure and have to belittle other teams (especially the teams that beat them) to make themselves feel more worthy.

So Lehigh,BU,Navy,Binghamton,OSU are any better??? Umass was an elite 8 team this year and has an amazing business school. Instate tuition is also very cheap for a great school. You're just being an ignorant parent.

So all the other teams are very civil in their bragging and never bash other teams? C'mon ...ME claiming they are top 5 every other day...Liberty claiming they are best on LI...tough to listen to the nonsense

Hilarious, you obviously care what other people think or you would not keep coming on here stating they are top 5 when no other top team thinks they are. I am sure they are great kids etc. but so are the kids from every club.

no one from Liberty claimed they were best on L.I. Stop making things up to rationalize your argument. All anyone has said is they had a good tournament. And bashing not only other teams but teen girls is the Yellow Jacket creed.

Agreed. yj=insecure.
