Clearly a huge game for both teams.

I think the opposite is true, not offering girls until after 9th grade year has many top LI girls already committed.

Its only getting worse there wasn't enough talent a handful of years ago and that's why there have only been 5 winning schools in about 30 years. Now with new programs coming on board every year the talent pool becomes even more diluted. Not enough quality to fill out these rosters.

They have a very good goalie, one of the best draw kids in the country, probably the most talented offense in the country, have won 26 of their last 27 games. That said not having Dowd running the offense will hurt but to say they cant keep up with any team is just stupidity.

Because BC was up at half and had a lead w 20 to go You really are ignorant , you say BC looks good and UNC does not in a game UNC won. The game ended up not being as close as the score but yes it was a close game for awhile. I would say UNC defense is suspect but it was good enough when they beat Florida in Florida. Maryland is the team to beat and will be in the finals again. It was also Florida's first game After today, it's MD first and everyone else a distant 2nd... UNC UF Not at MD level yet. Maybe by playoff time??. The huge disparity of fouls between the two teams today is alarming. As it was last year with MD vs Syracuse. Hats off to Terps. The better team today and got it done w class.

Because BC was up at half and had a lead w 20 to go You really are ignorant , you say BC looks good and UNC does not in a game UNC won. The game ended up not being as close as the score but yes it was a close game for awhile. I would say UNC defense is suspect but it was good enough when they beat Florida in Florida. Maryland is the team to beat and will be in the finals again. It was also Florida's first game After today, it's MD first and everyone else a distant 2nd... UNC UF Not at MD level yet. Maybe by playoff time??. The huge disparity of fouls between the two teams today is alarming. As it was last year with MD vs Syracuse. Hats off to Terps. The better team today and got it done w class. Yeah, awful lot of FL fouls. I couldn't get livestats to work so don't have numbers for comparison.

List is silly It's the metrics of the list that plays a large part in the rankings. It comes from two reputable sources and was featured in SI so I threw it out there. All in all a lot of lacrosse schools.

Clearly a huge game for both teams. How is this Penn State team? Can they beat Maryland out of the Big 10. No Penn State will beat Maryland like they did last year.

Anonymous Unregistered A	Final Four predictions: 1 - Maryland 2 - North Carolina 3 - ??? 4 - ??? Who will come on strong come tournament time? Florida - Very good team. off day on the road at MD. should cruise the rest of the regular season. Colorado - Putting together a great year. Big win on the road at Penn State. Two games in three days a long way from home will not end well at Stony brook. Penn State - They were there last year. Will most likely play Maryland twice before the tournament, being battle tested will help prepare them in the NCAA Tournament. Stony Brook - Easier schedule than most. They should be well rested for the tournament but not sure if they will be prepared. Cornell, Princeton, Penn: - All three Ivy's are tough. All three play tough non league schedules. Teams could see each other a third time in the NCAA's. USC - As much of a chance as anyone else. The rest of the field - Can their be a real surprise ? Syracuse, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Virginia, Boston College, Virginia Tech??? I think it's wide open for a team that get favorable draw and plays well at the right time.

No way do SB or USC end up in top 4. I say playing on MD's crap field probably hurt the FL. I think they could be 3 or 4 in the finals. I need to find out more about CO. In other news, I caught the tail end of Duke vs. Elon last night. Not so impressed either way. Duke had some terrible defense. Elon goalie made some great stops. All in all, watching FL vs. MD made Duke vs. Elon look like a slow game. They were on a whole other level.

This is not the case, just last year they committed at least one 9th grader (CSH), I'm sure there were others. Appears they aren't attracting top talent, they only beat Elon by 1.

And FL got 9 yellow cards.
