It’s already been discussed. They have 3 teams.

They have 5 teams now. Each with about 36-37 kids.

NAL is up on tourney machine. Unfortunately we can’t face the MD teams, but a solid field nonetheless. we’ll see if Express can take down Sweetlax again.

Awesome. Let’s drive to Delaware (where we can’t stay overnight due to Covid) and play a bunch of teams from Long Island, WestChester and Jersey. What a great idea!

NAL has been split in two. NY and NJ teams will play each other in NJ. MD, PA and others will play each other in DE.

I don’t think anyone is playing in jersey

It says indoor sports are restricted not outdoor.

LOL, they are grasping. they just moved the Delaware site to PA.

good for them. tis great to see a group trying so hard and great competition.

Towerman hammerhead normally barking about NAL. They even still around? Have they played this fall?

Who wins NAL jersey?

express

Sweetlax could run the table and possibly prime time but express is def the favorite, best team money can buy. Just hope the pandemic subsides in time for spring and summer tournaments.

There is express and sweetlax then everyone else . Unfortunately the way the bracket is set up the weaker teams could go 3-0 not having to play sweetlax or express.

This all the way

Watched these 2 play in NJ a couple weeks ago. Both VERY good teams.

Yes, winner of Sweetlax/Express is the clear top team. It would be fun if our winner could play the PA winner (presumably Tigers or Madlax) for an ultimate NAL Fall championship.

Not sure what has happened since the abbreviated summer, but what has changed that has express now a top team at this age? All along it has been, hawks, tigers, laxachusetts and recently sweet lax. Good to see a LI team emerge, but would love to know how/why

I would say the biggest thing his team has over all the other top teams is depth. He has 3 teams at this age group while other top clubs struggle to field a 2nd team. His 2nd liners could be top liners on most other clubs. His third liners won’t play much and the parents are ok with that. He practices a lot and plays a lot of games against good teams. This attracts top players. Now that they have created serious separation from other top LI clubs(at this age group) top players from other clubs want to play there. They recently had a middie leave 91 in the middle of the fall season to go play for him. That would never have happened in the past.

Express over Sweetlax 7-6 in OT. Amazing game. Both teams are great.

Interesting to hear how folks saw the LIE vs Primetime play out. PT is a good team and seemed to be playing well today. Do they simply run out of gas in the championship game?

Great game as expected and a travesty that they didn’t play again in the championship game due to ridiculous tie breaker rules. Sweetlax played tougher schedule and beat Primetime head to head, yet PT played LI in championship game due to goals against rule. Sweetlax and LIE best teams on the fields today.

Why no rematch for the final? PrimeTime lost to sweerlax, but still got to play in the final Vs express?

It’s too bad actually as everyone would’ve rather seen LIE play Sweetlax again. Sweetlax was up on PT 8-2 at the half and took their foot off the pedal looking forward to the rematch with LIE. Ultimately, won only 8-6 and that affected goals against tiebreaker. Those are the rules, but after watching these teams play, can’t imagine anyone would argue who the best teams were today.

No doubt , express and sweetlax then all of the rest .. unfortunately because of the way brackets are made up you won't always see the two best teams in the championship. For example there are teams that don't want to play certain teams and today there were teams that didn't want to play express or sweetlax . So they have to play with the schedules and move things around . Then the better teams have to play each other and knock each other out of the championship game . That's what happened today and why sweetlax wasn't in the final . But everyone knows that express and sweetlax were the top two teams .

PT is a very mediocre team at best. Good team but not elite.

Express and Sweetlax the best 2 teams there today by far. Everyone else is behind by far. What's with 91 Orange? They are a good B team at best.

Nothing says you are a team to talk about like coming in 4rth sweetlax. Stunards.learn math. Primetime finished ahead of you.

Sweetlax came in 5 th place easy on the whippets

Interesting since LI Express beat Jersey Express 6 to 5 in sudden death overtime to get to Finals against Prime Time.

Sweetlax actually finished in 4th place.

PT looked like they ran out of gas.. they only had 4 subs on the sideline. Why would they show up with such a small roster? Can’t blame it blame it on football

If that helps you feel better, then by all means sleep well tonight lol. Sweetlax has willingly played the top ranked teams as often as possible this year and not sure everyone else can claim the same. PT played Team 91 and Igloo, which are "B" level teams, prior to losing to Sweetlax and LIE. Only got to play in the championship due to tiebreaker rules, which is fine, but let's not confuse that with the 2 elite teams that played here this weekend.

The rest of us see you rationalizing all your losses for coming in 5th place SL chump.

Unlike the Hawks real teams show up to play regardless if they are missing kids for other sports. Hawks are not a top team anymore

PT when they have everyone is a top 5 team. Almost beat Hawks this summer and should have crushed Towerman

"Almost" and "should have" lol. I almost $&@?$& jennifer Anniston! Should have!

“Almost” and “should have” are the words of a team that loses.

I wish my boys teams had less kids. They may have run out of gas but I bet the gets had a great and got better at lacrosse.

91 team for 2026 is horrible. Is the director who is ruining the 2025 team coaching them too?

Maybe he can go for the 2 for 1 deal. Trust the process my arse.

Your right....it is horrible. But the 2025 coach is not the coach. The 2026 team has been ruined with daddy ball and allegiance to massapequa and wantagh. As a result they have kept kids around for too long that have no business being there.
