BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) 2018-2019 Women's DI, II & III College Lacrosse Season

I iterate again: let the fouls get tallied like in basketball and you'd clean that nonsense right up. Do that and nearly every former YJ playing collegiate would be out of the game by half.

thank you...just saw that there is one in NC.....

Dude , you are obviously ignorant . Answer this , name one midfielder who is better than her on the defensive side .

I agree--probably more than a bit. D3 is a great choice for many. I have published on this site a study I conducted of the 2013 class and only 53% were playing D1 lacrosse their senior year. The hardest thing to do is match your student-athlete to the best college. I'm a Villanova graduate. Great school. I'm on their advisory board. They do not support women's lacrosse. Many D1 schools do not support women's lacrosse. If it is a good academic match, the student/athlete wants the commitment to D1 and get a degree--perfect. Just realize Villanova is not making the NCAA tournament. Or Bucknell. Or Siena. Or nearly 85% of the D1 schools. It's the state of the game right now. (Now watch, 'Nova will reel off wins the rest of the year!).

D3, in terms of who make the NCAA playoffs, while a little more flexible, is almost as static. The commitment is not as intense, travel abroad is available (you can even play lacrosse abroad, which is cool) and offers students more flexibility with intense majors. The top D3 lacrosse programs are not easy schools to get into, either. Middlebury, Williams, Hamilton, Tufts, Amherst, Bowdoin, Colby (all NESCAC) plus Washington & Lee, Franklin and Marshall, Gettysburg etc all have extremely high standards for admission.

I'm with you here, it doesn't bother me to see it..the kid is having fun.. it appears she responding to something or someone on the sideline.. They might as well have fun, if they continue to stink it it up on the field there won't be much of a playoff run in their future.

if you watched the game until the end,the announcers were discussing how one ref called 5 charges against Fla in the second half..

Yeah and?

even the announcer thought a particular ref's was clueless... if I recall she had another charge call overturned by a second ref

If you go to a D1 one school you are going to play lacrosse first and for academics 2nd. Lacrosse is your job. Now any degree from those top schools is great but at many of them the coach directs you toy preferred majors. In D3 there is more balance. Internships, full complement of majors. Study abroad and more. Not every kid wants to practice 2x per day and 30 hours a week. Having said that, very few kids have the skill, talent and drive for top D1 schools and thats why only about HALF of the kids are playing in their senior year. Some kids just want to play. D3 is a perfect choice for them

The charge is the most under called of all fouls and should be called more often, instead most time the player is rewarded with an 8 meter

Here is an easy one. Go look at the big time rosters and the degrees the players are pursuing and in most instances the most popular majors of the school are way under indexed by the players and replaced with communications and the like. Not a lot of Pre Med, nurses, engineers. Coaches want these kids to be available to play, win championships and graduate

It looked like she was getting a sign that the camera was on her. Boring Game

You cannot be this dense. Your proof that the coaches direct these kids into certain majors is that not a lot of them are taking majors that are the most popular. Maybe many of these kids are not your average student and have interests that are not the most popular, maybe some of these schools were reach schools and the kids were not premed, engineering type students, maybe some come from affluent families and will be entering the family business or love the sport so much that after graduation they want to stay connected to it by coaching etc. You still have yet to name the school or coach that even encourages these kids to take a certain major .Explain then why some kids are "allowed" to take those majors you speak of as I can name both starters and nonstarters at virtually every school who do.

Ok here you go for the juniors and seniors at Northwestern ...
English w minor in psychology
Engineering 2 student/athletes
Learning and Organizational Change
Journalism (Medill school is #1 in country)
Law
Economics
Neuroscience
Human Development and Psychology 3 SAs
History
and yes... 4 student athletes taking communications studies, which btw at Northwestern is a top ten program nationally.

Looks like a pole dancer, typical LI trash

What is Learning and Organizational Change? the Law,Econ and Neuro kids have never seen the field...just so happens the 4 kids taking communication studies, even though its a joke major in every other school, just happens to be tops in the country here...Industrial engineering doesnt count as engineering...nice try on all of this though...have a good weekend.

Jealous much??

Another jealous hater.

I don’t necessarily know of any coach that has steered a player to certain major. I do know that many coaches try to steer kids AWAY from certain majors due to the time commitment. One of those being nursing. That happened to my daughter.

As a nurse educator I can tell you it is next to impossible to commit to a D1 program and complete the required clinical hours needed to sit for nursing licensure if you want to finish in 4 years. Nursing is not a program where you can save your clinical requirements to the last semester or a fifth year. Each clinical course has a didactic, clinical and sometimes lab or simulation requirement. Coaches are wise to track athletes away from this major as they would be set up for failure. Now completing a degree that includes many of the pre-requisite courses for nursing and then going on for a fifth year in an accelerated BS to RN is possible. But again, you are not playing, lifting, committed 7 days a week to a sport that fifth year. I would think there are other majors that may require the same components....point being you shouldn't bash girls for their choice of majors.

And yet my oldest was able to go thru the nursing program at a top level d1 lacrosse school in 4 years . Was it easy ,no . Did she have to take a lot of summer courses , yes. Did she have to speak with her coaches , professors , etc in an open and honest and sometimes uncomfortable situations , yes. It can be done and if that is what you are looking for then I would make sure some have managed to do it before you and then go for it .
