Of course the good ones. Only a couple of players want to stay at SB and usually because they can’t afford the other schools and the travel back and forth. Please don’t tell me about scholarships for lax either. My daughter plays at a mid major and has friends at majors. Not helpful for the SB girls coming out of HS.

StonyBrook is lucky they don't have Hofstra on there schedule this Year.

Keep telling yourself that.....lol

Here's a question for all you Stanford lovers, If Stanford is so much better than every other school, and you and your daughters are so much smarter than the rest of us, why do you care what we think? According to you, you and your daughters are living the dream, at the best school in the world, having a kid so much smarter than the rest of us, probably better marriages then the rest of us, why do you care? So your daughters team got crushed by a bunch of 3rd rate neanderthals and they can barley throw or catch. I mean really, look at those decision making skills they posses, flawless almost 5 out of a hundred times. Who cares they don't have enough dexterity to complete a pass to a girl 5 yards away without throwing it out of bounds, there at Stanford, a bastion of liberal idealism where every loser is really a winner because some magazine says so, and there is no way you spent all that money so your daughter will become my barista like so many other top 10 school grads. You just keep telling yourself that there is no way any of our daughters will be nearly as successful as your little princess because your princess has a better name on the top of a piece of paper and that makes her better. nme7vy (I put that in so you can continue to feel superior to me, you obviously need that)

What a dope . You seem like the typical [ChillLaxin] who looks down on people because you used to get beat up a lot in high school , get over it .

PLEASE, go crawl back into your Hofstra hole, you will not be playing any meaningful games come May

Saw Hofstra today v Wagner and live this fall. Yikes. Not very good. Could be better, but obviously coaches doing them no favors. Please don’t mention them competing with SB or even well with mid majors. Should beat Wagner by more than 10 and won by 5 unimpressively.

Yawn....😴

Big barn burner with Wagner today ! I was at Hofstra vs SB last year at Hofstra with my daughter Top Gun team the half time score was 17-0 personally think this is a big year for HU

Look for Spalina to jump to Hofstra for a big pay raise in the next year or two. Shannon wont make it much longer

can your overly intelligent self hither quote button again? 3 times isn't enough. For a person that thinks there smarter than everyone on this site, you can't even figure out how to post. By the way is that your best [ChillLaxin] or are you just taking my advice

Add Insanity to the list of negative self destructive emotions, behavior, thoughts or mental state that many of you display on this site. The bitterness, jealousy, hate and insanity that comes through would be funny if it were not so sad. I'm guessing that it is the same lunatics that try to tear down Stanford then go after Hofstra all in some sick effort to elevate a school like Stony Brook. Honestly, what is wrong with you people? Many of you simply can not let your daughters abilities speak for it self. Be happy for your daughter wherever she is athletically and academically. Do any of you realize how crazy you sound?

"No need to go to Stanford, an Ivy or Duke. The education is just as good at XYZ State". "Your kid plays at Hofstra? They aren't even Top 30, what a waste of time". "She is going where, UNC? She will never see the field". "How did they pick those girls for UA? My daughter is way better, it must be political". "Those IL Rankings are a joke. My daughter is just as deserving". "Lacrosse is a dead end sport, what did she get a 5K scholarship? We went DIII because academics are more important to us". "ND stinks". "Northwestern is terrible". "Florida will never win". "I told you they were overrated, see they lost, they stink".

Look at reality. The top schools are the top schools for a reason, whether it be academically or athletically. Same can be said for the student athletes and all of your bashing will not change reality.

Ok. We've beaten the Stanford vs. the rest of the world argument to death. Lets put it to rest and get back to college womens lacrosse.

Rumor has it Spallina leaving, but not to Hofstra. Big time mens program, wait and see. more $$$$$$$$$$$.

While it is entirely possible, let's not forget he just signed a new contract with SB, and the AD loves him which means he gets carte blanche to do whatever he wants. If the men's program is more prestigious then I would say he'd absolutely go but otherwise, I doubt it. He's got it too good.

Is Nagle finally getting the boot? Was embarrassed for him last weekend when he had no answer for Penn State. SB Men’s can do better with Spallina in charge

Going to start new program at big school ?

He will take over the men’s program at Stonybrook and try to attract better 91 players to turn the program around. It has been going downhill for a while. Will be a win win. He can recruit his own kids and stay in his new house.

Has to be a big school making cash with football and hoops. Lax makes very little if anything for these schools except adding some prestige to the overall athletic program. He already makes almost $200k which is a lot on the womens side. Most of the coaches are $40-$70k. People forget he won with men already. He wins everywhere

Easy there, winning at D2 compared to D1 is comparing apples to oranges. Different level all together. With that said he will never t leave Long Island so Stonybrook Men’s would be a logical step. Still don’t see that program going anywhere

He will double that at big time mens program.

NY Lizards HC

Adelphi with an early loss to Florida Southern. These [2] teams have trading wins last few years including the last two years for the D2 championship. Nice rivalry going on.

Why can't schools like Stanford, most Ivy's, Bucknell, Villanova, Richmond, Ohio State, Rutgers etc... Be more competitive? There are a lot of great schools that would be the right fit for a lot of kids yet they can't find a way to field a competitive team.

Is it coaching or is there simply not enough talent?

He is not leaving Long Island, he wants his own kids in a lax hotbed, and he is highly involved in their lax teams. He kids are all part of very talented teams that would be impossible to replicate anywhere else at this point. Not to mention the Assoc. Head is interviewing for head spots now (late fall), she would just stay if JS was leaving and take over.

Comes down to coaching, not enough quality head coaches. It takes a lot to run a program, a lot more than just x's and o's. Just look at how much SS has struggled with the learning curve. She can coach kids and make their skills and knowledge of the game better, but that is less than half of it. Its the fund raising, managing personnel, planning travel, etc. All can be overwhelming.

Obviously another hater attempting to set a narrative and promote an agenda. Go away troll.

Stonybrook is done after this year. He has a special group of girls. Unfortunately they’ll come up short in the end. He did as much as he could for that program. Will now try to elevate the mens program to a top 10.

Yes, Penn and Princeton are Ivy's and they have great programs. I said most Ivy's are not very competitive. Although Rutgers and Stanford are more competitive than Bucknell and Vilanova they are not as competitive as they should be. I was not talking only about academics, I was talking great fit for many students.

Not sure its a troll, sounds pretty accurate to me. There is a real shortage of really good coaches out there both in college and club. Just because you played doesn't make you a good coach. Most of these teams win in spite of their coaches based on the skill and athleticism of their players. SB went from 3 wins to 14 overnight with Spalina and he wins everywhere he's been. Florida and others can't break through because they don't have a coach that can take exceptional players to the next level in tight situations. The sport doesn't pay very well so unless you get to the top quickly many potential good coaches aren't staying in the 24 hour rat race and endless relocation. The other things that stop teams from jumping up is the players. Once you get outside the top tier of nationally recruited women, the sport is very balanced with talent

It's called an Athletic Director - they make schedules, plan travel and deal with almost all administrative stuff. If there's one thing SS can do its raise money, what she can't do is evaluate talent and/or recruit it when she stumbles into it. all you've heard for the last several years is the her players don't want to play for her, but are stuck there. Seems to be the exact opposite at SB...

Go away [ChillLaxin].

This is Spallinas last shot to win championship, Super stars are graduating, Big fall off after this year. He knows it and looking to try something on the mens side and double his salary, that someone has mentioned above is at 200K.. 500K to coach mens team, at Hofstra or SB. ????????

Boston College looks deep, 18 reminds me of Rix and Apuzzo is nasty. Can they beat UNC this year?

JS is very successful but his players are not exactly thrilled to be playing for him either. Let’s just say he can be a real task master and is not easy on them unless you are one of the chosen ones and I hear even reducing some scholorships along the way .Not sure how some get away with it but NCAA rules in terms of practice times ,length, days in a row etc are just suggestions .

Possibly, But they still stink, if Spallina had this team, they'd have won 5 trophies. I dont get why people from LI go here and not SB.

If they can’t beat UNC this year they probably never will. UNC has been starting 5 or so freshmen and another 2-3 who never started an NCAA game prior to this year .As far as BC being deep , they are never deep and run their offense generally thru 2-3 girls .I will still take UNC this year but should be a good game.

SB is done after this year. As good as KO is, she can’t do it alone. JS far from dumb and knows this. If he doesn’t move on, he’ll crash and burn along with his kids who depend on daddy-o for their success.
