Clearly M&D and Hero’s are the top two. Any of the rest can beat one another on any given day.

NEMS has only beaten Coppermine (#40) & LBC (#21) this Fall while losing to Hero’s Green(#4), M&D Black (#3) and Pride (#11) each twice (missing some to injury & soccer). They tied Coppermine in Prime Time YG, beat them in Chesapeake, beat YJ South & lost to M&D in Prime Time.

Coppermine- beat LBC big in NGLL last year finishing 3rd, beat MD United (#27)YJ Grazidei (#5) and Prime Time (#6) in all at Live Love Lax with this same team less the 4 talented girls they picked up while losing only 1 or 2. This Fall they also tied NEMS (#14) in the Prime Time YGs Tournament. Mid-Atlantic they had no more than 10 girls due to soccer. Two of the last three games against Hero’s they only lost 3-6 & 8-12.

MDU beat Prime Time 3 times over the summer, beat YJ Grazidei but lost to Coppermine. Lost to Aces over the summer but beat them in the Fall. Yet they are #27 and Prime Time is # 6.

LBC only beat Hero’s Green once, tied Coppermine and lost to M&D, Hero’s, Aces and Eagle Stix. Can’t really count the other games as those teams aren’t that strong.

Some teams are still playing majority of their starters while others are doing even PT in the Fall. Some have a few players where soccer or other sports conflict with Fall Lacrosse while others had a lot less conflicts. It’s clear M&D and Hero’s are in a league of their own but they still need teams in that league. All of these teams deserve to play in the A Division along with the others already registered in the NGLL Spring League. I’m still waiting for the day Skywalkers starts to compete with these teams and maybe this is the year from the pick ups they got I hear. I cheer for all to improve because the stronger our League is the better our girls will be in the future.

I think that's fair. The big question for me is BLC. Last year, they were the clear #3 team. Curious to see if that is still true. They played M&D and Heros close at Chesapeake but got pwned by Pride.

MD United probably had the most perplexing fall. They may have had the best fall win of any MD team, beating Aces Elite 9-4, but also had a very unexplainable blowout losses, losing by 10 to Prime time and Gold Coast.

I heard that BLC added a VERY talented player a few weeks ago. She had played with Hero’s Green.

I assume the same soccer girls will be missing in the Spring too. Soccer is year round. Maybe they make it to the early Summer tournaments.

Why would a player leave Heros for BLC?

Right, does BLC even have High School teams, whereas Hero's has an amazing track record of recruiting.

I think this helps BLC more than it hurts Hero's who can just replace the production from another starter anyways.

Are you sure this really happened? That makes no sense, unless they are trying to make her the "Savior of BLC" why would you move from Hero's G mid season? I think I could understand them chasing t-shirts and hats if they moved her to M&D B, but BLC????? Hero's G is a top tier team that all plays play in the games, the players are all good, maybe she is not shinning there and can shine at BLC. This does not add up to me.

I guess we’ll just have to see how things pan out. She’s major addition.

Heros made out better on the deal. Parents are a nightmare. Very toxic people who belittles other girls on the team. The daughter is nice enough and a good player. Heros has plenty of talent that can slot right in where she was.

They will be a perfect fit with the culture of BLC.

The idea that the "culture" at BLC is somehow worse than the "culture" at Hero's is....funny.

It is undoubtedly worse. Hero’s families I know are way more down to earth and my understanding is that the girls there come from all walks of life and have little overlap in school, etc… outside of lacrosse. BLC families we know in our neighborhood say the program is poorly run and made up of a few cliquey families that parent “coach” and play favorites. That was our primary reason for choosing NL instead.
