SA played LBeach, double digit win.
CSH game cancelled at last minute due to weather.
Lost one preseason game v MD team in DC
Won one preseason game v NC team in DC

They also won by double digits. Did you forget that?
Had a bad game, then had a good game.

My kid is a defensive middie who makes a lot of great plays. Stick checks, ground balls, interceptions. Not a lot of goal scoring. That's ok. She knows that she is working hard doing her job and getting the ball to the attack. Wish Newsday would report on things besides goals.

This comment is absolutely unacceptable! Identifying high school-aged players on a social media sight should not be tolerated by any mediator. The person who wrote this response anonymously should be banned from further posting. No high school player deserves to be dragged into adult bantering over girls' lacrosse and their father does not deserve to be called out on social media for his behavior at his daughters' games. If you feel his actions warrant addressing, do so personally. If you aren't brave enough, ask the coach or referee to do so.

Hoping Port beats Manhasset again this year. That was fun last year.

Use the quote button..

^this. And if not report, at least acknowledge the great effort. That should start with the coach though, and IME, coaches might praise those kids in a practice or huddle but they are rarely the talking point when it's time for PR. It's a shame.

Scoring leaders should be abolished in Newsday. Just post wins and losses. It pushes stat padding like crazy

What happened to Port? They looked like a mess yesterday. I am guessing Manhasset could have scored 20 goals if they didnt stop scoring on them. For what its worth, Port should NOT be in the power conference. That game was just hard to watch!

girls h.s. running d middies? please name one. please?

I think they meant that their daughter is a more defensive minded middie . At least that's how I took it.

What post are you referring to?

be reasonable. in girls lacrosse the defenders are statues who day dream and hold their stick up while offense runs by and shoots. no checking etc.

Wow! And offense only, wins games. Lacrosse isn't a team sport. Defenders are irrelevant in girls' lacrosse. How sad!

Don't call In soccer stats, basketball stats, tennis stats, bowling stats... what is up with lax parents? Let it go, that's life. Teach your children what you believe is right. Stats will always be part of sports. I guess we should do away with Joe D's 56 game hitting streak or Babe Ruth's 60 homers, maybe we should throw away all of our Olympic athletes Personal achievements. Who cares who actually finishes first in this years NYC marathon, lets just post who finished in alphabetical order. And forget the PGA tour, let's just all have fun out there. Are you people kidding me!!!!!!!!!

There should be stats most definitely but also include ground balls and draw controls...fair?

Clearly that poster is ignorant and did not see the ESM game today. Defense wins games!

More than fair and should be implemented immediately. This one decision would eliminate a great amount of problems with the adults in girls’ high school lacrosse.

Then the poor kid or team manager will have some nut jobs calling out names to attribute stats. “Did you get that?” Susie smith caused that turnover etc.

For those that think HS Lax and Newsday stats don't matter, go look at every big time LI recruits college bio. Everyone lists their HS point total, their all conference awards as well as the BS for pay all star teams they signed up for i mean tried out for in HS.

Every kid also puts those stats on their recruiting resume. So it does kind of matter in the self promotion aspect of recruiting.

I agree no one says their shooting percentage was 200 or that they had 100 turnovers in running up their stats. Just look at the SB all time goal leader. Probably 50% of her goals were college stat padding n blowout games against weak competition just like HS girls do

All of those players were recruited on the club circuit playing against the best competition in the country. Putting your stats in your Bio is also meaningless and doesn't matter in any way. What BS teams are you talking about?

The top kids do not even have a "recruiting resume". The top kids do their self promotion on the field competing against the best competition. No letters have to be sent, no resumes no phone calls. The college coaches from the best college programs go and watch the top club teams play and then they call the players that they like. News flash.... the top 10 - 15 programs go after and make offers to many of the same players. Those are the top kids and their HS stats have nothing to do with it.

How has Stony Brook's stat padding worked out for them? They are the most over hyped team in the history of the game, Their fans talk as if they are Northwestern or Maryland. They have not made it past the final 8. Maybe this year but up until now they have under achieved in the tournament.

BTW... SBU Coach (and he is a very good coach) allows stat padding but those players are not selfish big difference.

They are nothing like HS girls. Running to the goal and running past 3 or 4 un-athletic girls when the ball should be passed is selfish and ugly. Have you watched SBU play? They make the pass.

I agree the best of the best don't need anything but their play on the field but what about the bottom 85% of kids? They all send the resumes with their stats, playing resume and contact info. As for SB I agree they are fiercely talented offensively and they DO make the pass but they also keep going to go to goal when they are up by 20!!!! Thsts the problem and you are right their coach loves that his players make national news with their bloated stats (a true YJ LOL)
