BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) 2020-2021 Women's Division I, II & III College Lacrosse Season

The Tewaaraton watch list posted and honestly what a joke. First off way too many players and they have a middy who has played in a total of 9 games starting in 3 .Stats are 10 g,1A, 11 T.O yes she has done well at the draw but give me a break.

Wow. Talk about time on your hands!

Eh, I tend to agree but In the end everybody knows their will be a short list, but it's nice for the players to be recognized.

Ok. Watched a few games first few weeks here. Is there a defensive of coach in women’s lacrosse that understands terms:
Show Slide
Shade to ball side/player with ball
Push to alley or any players tendencies.
Play ball side on cutter
Play under the pick

That coming from someone who so busy that they are on here at 4:00pm on a Thursday.

The list always starts at 50, each week the list gets smaller until there are just 4.. it happens this way every year..

Disagree, might even put Virginia ahead of Stony Brook.

After UVA loses by at least a touchdown to BC who SBU has clearly outplayed against common opponents will you come back on .

Just curious, what has Stony Brook ever done? They beat up on their conference foes , they do OK vs other Top 20 teams, they are below .500 Vs Top 10 teams, they have won exactly 1 game ever Vs a Top 5 Team and they have done nothing in the NCAA Tournament. Has history not taught us anything? Stony Brook is overrated just about every year and NCAA tournament history usually shows it.

Did the one goal win over Louisville do it for you lol just let things play out

This cuse ND game was disappointing game was NEVER in question. Late back door cover but ND got handled Down big early and game was never close. Great game by Cuse

Agree that the game was never in question, but have to admit ND is not as overrated as I thought. They have great size and a terrific feeder with a very potent offense and goalie.

SU looked awesome. They will be tough to beat.

On a side note. The biggest game of the year to date and this is the best US Lacrosse has to offer for refs. The SU v ND game was the worse ref and controlled game I have ever seen. I am shocked that a game they knew was going to tuned into they would let these rookies. US lacrosse continues to underwhelm me with their product. Sorry guys this has nothing to do with growth of game. At travel U 9 tourney I get it. Here no way. Based on all the youth watching last night HS and youth cross checking will be on the raise.

The flow of game was terrible based on all the brutal cross check to only disrupt play. Intentional.

I had to switch from the Men’s game last
Nighy to see some great hits in the women’s-lol.

They need to do better!!!!!

"Great size" ? That will take them far.

Does US Lacrosse have anything to do with the officials who are selected to work NCAA games? Not being cynical, I honestly do not know. I would think for in conference games "the conference" in this case the ACC would assign the officiating crew.

The consensus on this sight has been accurate. UNC, Syracuse and Northwestern are in a class all by themselves. Depth, athleticism, talent, veterans, you name it they have it. Notre Dame and Penn State are both very good teams but at this point they have a lot of work to do if they expect to knock one of the three off. I thought PSU was holding their own and then the wheels came off, PSU goalie had a tough day, I am not sure if she was off or NU shooters are just really good (probably a combination of both). In any event, both PSU and Notre Dame look better other teams that I have seen (just one guys opinion). Athletic, fast, gritty overall very solid.

Boston College Vs Virginia should be interesting.

Top 3 - no particular order... Northwestern, Syracuse, North Carolina.

Next 7 - no particular order... Notre Dame, Florida, Penn State, Maryland, Boston College, Virginia, Stony Brook.

I think Florida and Stony Brook are at a disadvantage due to their less than competitive schedules. Maybe they can schedule a game Vs each other. The ACC and Big 10 teams will certainly be battle tested come Tournament Time.

Good Luck to all.

No one talking about how penn state got pummeled

[quote=Anonymous]No one talking about how penn state got pummeled

The wheels came off in the 2nd half. Very competitive game in the first half.

Wow, what an insightful post, thanks for sharing...

BTW... Looks like the post directly above your post talks about it.

If you watched the game, Penn State actually look pretty good (obviously not as good as NU). It was 11 - 9 (11 - 10 early second half) competitive game and most of the stats were similar with the exception of shooting percentage, save percentage and of course the most important stat "goals scored". Northwestern can really shoot.

Northwestern is a veteran heavy squad, they start two 5th year players (one who is an All-American Transfer from Virginia who scored 4 goals), 5 seniors, 3 juniors, 1 sophomore and 1 freshmen.

Penn State is very young. PSU starts 4 freshmen, 3 sophomores, 2 juniors, 2 seniors, one 5th year (no stud transfers).

Penn State will be fine and they will continue improve as the season goes on.

Watched Northwestern Vs Penn State and the only Freshmen starting for NU is a Freshmen from Long Island. Very impressive. Any freshmen who starts / plays every game on a Top 10 Team (especially one loaded with upperclassmen) is off to a very impressive start. Congratulations to her!

Signed Penn State Dad. That's one way to look at it or you can say NW woke up in the second half and put a beat down on a lesser team.

Not the person you are responding to but will chime in anyway.

You should have signed, but I am sure that you never would. The other way to look at it is you woke up this morning and you were the same as you were yesterday. Go back under the rock troll.

penn state is not good

So much Penn State chatter lately, I guess with a few more local girls headed there, it is to be expected. I don't think they are a bad team, or a "not good" team, as someone has stated. I do think there are definitely over ranked right now. They are over ranked because they beat a MD team that was way over ranked at the time and it catapulted them from unranked at the start of the season into the bottom of the top ten. Which seems like it makes sense except we have now seen MD has not returned to there usual top of the heap, so that win really should not have launched Penn States ranking. If a unranked team beats MD now, they wouldn't see that jump into the top 10 rankings. I still think SBU, FL, VA, BC, probably Towson any maybe even a few others should be ahead of Penn State. They do belong in the 10-20 range, along with 10 other teams and you could pretty much shuffle the deck at that point, and MD should be considered in that mix as well at this point.

Get a grip, Towson was just blown out by Temple, Stony Brook struggled with Towson. Florida , Virginia and BC are right there with Penn State. Stony Brook and Towson not so much.

Maryland just stole one from Hopkins in OT. MD loss to PSU OT vs unbanked Hopkins they are not a top 10 team IMO

A few snubs, A few "how'd that happen"s
A ton of LI girls representing, great to see!
No list is complete without controversy.

Congrats to all on the list!

“You should have signed, but I am sure that you never would. The other way to look at it is you woke up this morning and you were the same as you were yesterday. Go back under the rock troll.”

Let me guess you are a different person than you were yesterday , most likely a different pronoun something like they .I notice you did not sign your name tough guy ,

If you watched the game, Penn State actually look pretty good (obviously not as good as NU). It was 11 - 9 (11 - 10 early second half) competitive game and most of the stats were similar with the exception of shooting percentage, save percentage and of course the most important stat "goals scored". Northwestern can really shoot.

Northwestern is a veteran heavy squad, they start two 5th year players (one who is an All-American Transfer from Virginia who scored 4 goals), 5 seniors, 3 juniors, 1 sophomore and 1 freshmen.

Penn State is very young. PSU starts 4 freshmen, 3 sophomores, 2 juniors, 2 seniors, one 5th year (no stud transfers).

Penn State will be fine and they will continue improve as the season goes on.[/quote]

Signed the Penn State dads boyfriend . You should have signed your name Mr football coach fake tough guy .

Agree . MD offense looks disconnected and they don’t do well in set offense situations The commentator kept making comment Reese doesn’t go deep on her bench. Maybe she should. Try anything because what you have out there isn’t getting it done. We are 4 games into the season and your offense hasn’t gelled.If Hopkins would have made a couple of free positions they would have won. UMD seems to rely on free positions. Northwestern is gong to kill them .

Florida lost to UNRANKED Jacksonville
Virginia blown out by BC who UNC beat by 12
Penn state another loss ( this one they left with their dignity)

Very surprised to see Jacksonville beat Florida (good for Jacksonville). BC looks to be stronger than most expected. Virginia having an off year. Penn State is solid. Northwestern, Syracuse and UNC are on another level. Looks like Boston College, Notre Dame, Penn State are the next three. Maybe Maryland will improve and put up a fight to be # 2 in the Big 10. Florida is the biggest surprise. Virginia is usually much more competitive. Loyola is also surprising really thought they would be more competitive . Does anyone think Va Tech is Top 20?

UVA having an off year ? They lost 1 game and have beat a team that they lost to last year and have not beaten BC in 5 years . Would say they are a top 15 team easy and having a typical year It’s UNC and Cuse , NW not on their level . BC top ten but easily behind UNC , Cuse , NW , PSU , SBU , ND . BC in w Towson , MD , Drexel , Florida

Notre Dame Vs Syracuse Today at 12:00.... Can Notre Dame improve?

Loyola Vs Drexel could be interesting.

Stanford Vs USC .... Any predictions?

Is Jacksonville for real? They are 3 - 0 and winning close games. Could they be a sleeper and surprise someone if they make the tournament? I hope so.

Florida didn't see this loss coming, Very rare for true top 10 teams to lose to unranked opponents.

Looks Like it will be ACC and Big 10 Teams fighting it out to make it to the Final Four.

UNC, Syracuse, Northwestern then you have Boston College, Penn State, Maryland ...

Based on YTD results it doesn't look like there is anyone else.

Navy? They have surprised before, who knows?

Is it possible that some of the ACC and Big 10 teams could play each other 4 times? Regular season, conference playoffs and NCAA Tournament? Should be interesting.

Stony Brook? Please tell us what they have done? Towson? Did you not see Towson vs Temple? Towson and Stony Brook, really? Florida ? not at this point, sorry Jacksonville loss hurts. We will see how Virginia does the rest of the way, no hiding in the ACC. Would love to see Drexel do well. BC, PSU and maybe ND look like the only teams with any shot at upsetting the Top 3.

Should have put Notre Dame in the group with Boston College, Penn State and Maryland... Lets see what Notre Dame does today.

US lacrosse please just get rid of the repetitive foul rule in the rule book. NON of your refs get it or call it at the highest levels. I am seeing three to six fouls on the same player as ball is cleared. cross checks, up checks on butt ends.

This is illegal. All to slow the game so team can get into zone and rest.

This is a yellow card. Call it to clean game up.

UVA will struggle the rest of the season looking at their schedule but who would not with the majority of the rest of the season playing ND , Cuse , UNC , UNC . That said my point was they are not having a down year just a typical year for them , usually in that 10-20 type team for a long time now . The only teams that I would be surprised if they lose ( other than to each other ) are UNC , ND , Cuse , Nw . All other teams can lose to just about anybody

UVA and where they were ranked in the Final Poll of the season:

2012 - #8
2013 - #9
2014 - #4
2015 - #8
2016 - #16
2017 - #14
2018 - #13
2019 - #7

can't count 2020
