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

I too believed SB would drop off quite a bit from last season but happened to see them twice once with my one daughter against average competition and then went up to see my other daughter in Brown Play Day and was really really impressed fast and skilled they beat us handily as was expected but the game after I watched them go blow for blow with Boston College and while results do not matter they got upper hand on BC. I will also state the obvious but it was my first time watching Charlotte North in person and WOW is she something. Seemed like both teams were playing top players in that one. Left there also impressed with Umass think they will be a top 20 team,
Another team that I believe will be a top 10 besides SB will be Princeton they return so much talent.
Saw Loyola and really liked their talent level and to comment on the previous post I think Virginia is not very good My way too early prediction of a final 4 is
Syracuse
BC
UNC
Northwestern( Not sure about this one)

BC was without their 2nd, 3rd and 4th leading scorer and goalie vs Stony Brook. Those 3 players feed on zone defenses which is what Stony Brook plays. Very good chance the same four teams make the final four - UNC, Cuse, NW and BC. All very talented and well coached. Fairly meaningful drop off after those four.

Jaime Ortega signed the first major sponsorship in Women's lacrosse with Epoch. Congrats to her! Interesting that they went with her over Charlotte North who's gotten all the hype over the past year..having watched both play Ortega is a much more well rounded player. North has the physicality and power advantage but that's about it. I'm sure North will get sponsored soon enough.

Such a transparent post. Just go away.

Makes sense for Epoch to go with Ortega. UNC ia a partner with Epoch lacrosse.

IMHO the only reason for the post was to try knock CN and hype JO.

When was the last time a team that played a Zone won the Championship?

Don’t think cause gets to the final four.[/quoted

JMU plays a zone

If I had the choice my kid would play w JO . Nice kid who generally plays the right way . All you CN super fans have never spoken w many of her teammates on Duke , BC or the US team , I have , The kid is a brutal teammate .

JO has been consistent since her freshman year. Impact player through and through. CN had been pretty average until last year when she exploded. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Nothing against JO, she is a very good player. You on the other hand are exactly what is wrong with this sport. Not sure what your problem is but you should probably get some help.

Sounds like someone is defending why their daughter is better than a National Champ MVP and Tewaaraton winner. Please stop!

Why do you always assume its the parent? Is no one else allowed an opinion?

Whether you are JO's parent or not is irrelevant, you are a coward spewing nonsense on this site. You are a small minded individual who just can't stand it that CN is twice the player that your daughter is and everybody knows it. Bitter and jealous must be a tough way to go through life. CN will win the Tewaaraton again and you will still be you, so go back to your miserable life and continue to bash and tear down young women who you do not even know.

I think most people are finally realizing that CN is MUCH better than everyone else. She is a generational talent that does things nobody else has done in woman's lacrosse. She does it on the draw and she dominates on the offensive end even though every team is game planning to stop her. Few teams game planned to stop JO last year - more teams focused on KH. This summer CN played with the National Team which is made up of the best of the best to have ever played the game and she dominated. That says it all. You can not say the same thing for the other Tewaaraton Finalists. She is simply better than every other college player and if you polled fans and parents across the country they would overwhelmingly agree!

What a bunch of nonsense. What is she doing that no one else has done? She is good at the draw but not dominate ,not the best in the country and was exposed in her semi final. Ask her US teammates if they like playing with her, they do not. As far as who performed the best at the US team training and scrimmages it was another Tewaaraton Finalist who was the consensus best player who both Spalllina and Levy said was the MVP of the tryouts but dont let that get in the way of your ill informed blabbering.

My Daughter plays on BC.. this is a lie. Amazing teammate.

Of course it’s a lie… that’s what small minded jealous little parents who just can’t stand it when other players are recognized as being better than their daughter do. Pathetic people.

Congratulations!!

Surprised on a couple different names here. Those invited and one not on team anymore. Obviously JS driving the bus from a coaching perspective.

Good luck to all this weekend.
