Scoreboard Headlines

Having covered all of today's matches, one thing stood out on the scoreboard : 27 matches were decided by ten goals or more today. A total of 48 matches were played. Overall, this means that 56% of the games were simply not competitive on today's docket.

In contrast, only 9 matches were decided by three goals or less for 19% of games. Not a good day to be a passing spectator!

Yellow Jackets Blue and Sky Walkers again appear to be at the front of this year's pack with the STEPS 2016, Long Island Liberty, Bear Lax Blue 2016, Dominant (Maryland) and Long Island Top Guns also putting up 3-0 records.

Other notable results included Team Elevate (2-1), Long Island Express (2-1), Yellow Jackets Gold (2-0-1), and NEM&D (2-1).

The match-ups should be interesting heading towards the quarterfinals from amongst these eleven teams - there just will not be room at the table for everyone.

Field 9: #10 NEM&D defeats #23 Minnesota Elite, 20-4

Highlights

The top two seeds, STEPS and Sky Walkers, had their games decided before halftime.

Eagle Stix pulls off the first major upset of the knock-out phase defeating Lax Maniax who tied Yellow Jackets Gold in opening day group play.

Ultimate Elite pulled off a huge win in what figured to be a closer match-up.

MEM&D hang up our first twenty of the elimination round with a 20-4 win over Minnesota.

Looks like they would have been better off accepting some northeast PAL teams and playing this in NJ. Many of these teams from other parts of the country can't keep up. Way too many games witha +10 goal differential

That's why, regardless of club affiliation, our kids in the the Long Island to MD/VA region including PA, NJ, DE are in a great position for recruiting. There will be a place for all our kids.

Looks like Ceraso team would have been a top ten team and they cant even get in

First Round Results - Wednesday, July 24th

July 24 First Round - 9:30 a.m.

Field 18: #8 Yellow Jackets Gold crush #25 Connecticut Dodgers, 16-0

Field 25: #13 Long Island Express 2016 double #20 North Carolina, 10-5

Field 7: #3 Dominant handles #30 Utah, 17-4
Field 9: #14 Stars Gold double #19 Cardinal 2016 Red, 12-6

Scoreboard Highlights

While we expected opening round blow-outs in the knock-out phase, did we really need to see 16-0, 16-0, and 18-0 scores posted by the Long Island teams? Yes, this is a "national championship" and much of this points to unbalanced competition even at a national level. Should these teams even be competing at a national tournament?

Keep telling that to yourself. Have you seen the number of spots available on D1, D2 and D3 rosters?

In the 11:00am matchups, word from the field is that Team Elevate is facing a major challenge from BearLax 2017 with a 5-5 halftime score. BearLax 2016 and BBL lead their matches at the half.

Field 18/Field 19

This ridiculous disparity highlights and probably legitimizes a criticim on the boys' thread about the Boiys' U15 tourney being a joke. Seems like the cut off should have been at 8 teams and it would have been a great tournament. What we've seen so far has been a huge waste of time.

First/Second Round Results - Wednesday, July 24th

Please note that BOTC will NOT be covering the out-bracket (consolation) matches until we are much further into the tournament. We will have continuing coverage of the winners Chase to the Championship throughout the afternoon.

July 24 First Round - 11 a.m.

Field 18: #12 BBL 2017 defeats #21 Lady Trojan Gold, 9-4
Field 19: #5 Long Island Liberty defeat #28 Desert Heat, 16-6
Field 20: #11 Elevate survives over #22 BearLax 2017 Blue, 12-9
Field 25: #6 BearLax 2016 Blue defeat #27 StickBenders, 12-1

July 24 Second Round - 11 a.m.

Field 26: #1 STEPS 2016 wins local rivalry over #16 Ultimate Elite, 18-6
Field 7: #2 Sky Walkers 2016 defeat #18 Super Stix, 10-4

NCAA Division I : 2,536
NCAA Division II : 1,546
NCAA Division III: 4,192

Our point here is that only 4,082 of the 8,784 are scholarship eligible.

When you go one step further, you find that there are only 1,116 total women's NCAA Division I scholarships for everyone and 663 NCAA Division II scholarships available.

That makes 1,776 scholarships in total being spread across 4,082 players. If everything was equal and fully funded, that would mean that the average player is competing for 43%. However as we know, elder classmen will receive increasing awards in general which means entry students are receiving substantially less.

July 24 Second Round - 12:30 p.m.

Field 18: #8 Yellow Jackets Gold defeats #24 Eagle Stix, 10-7

Field 20: #7 Long Island Top Guns edges #10 NEM&D, 11-10
Field 25: #14 Stars Gold upsets #3 Dominant, 10-7

Scoreboard Highlights

Two Yellow Jacket Blue players (Hoeg, Miller) net hat-tricks as the first all-Long Island tilt goes to the favored Jackets.

Early second half has an upset in the making at Stars Gold are leading Maryland's Dominant by four and that goes the distance.

so far YJ Blue, YJ Gold & Top Guns are in quarters...TG beat a tough NEM&D 11 to 10. YJ Blue had beaten them in the first game 8 to 6...tough draw but good win.

Cage thanks for your updates

HOPE THE REFS DON'T TAKE OVER THE GAME...........

Stars beating Dominant was not an upset. Dominant benefited from the schedule, and Stars is one of the best programs out there.

Put it down TG will win it all. None of these other teams can stay with the 2015 age players tg have brought.Its over.

Lets not forget, club lacrosse is about money at all levels and tournaments! Following the same logic team USA is wasting its time as well, they would have a more competitive tournament if they made rgional teams and played against each other.

Let's face it - if you are ready this blog from New [lacrosse], you cannot want anything but a Yellow Jackets vs. Top Guns final. That said, both teams have formidable challenges in their way to the big dance.

SSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPP

Why say that please let the kids just play the game!

How the heck did the Liberty get blown out like that! Biggest shock of the tournament so far. They looked so strong up to that point. Tough plane ride back.
