She did put up 5 goals on UNC, 4 goals on JMU, and 2 goals on Duke. But yes, she feasted on lesser opponents. But Congrats to her. No one has done it before.

And that, right there...that's the problem. It does NOT mean less and maybe people like you need to keep your "opinion" to yourself instead of making someone feel less then. THAT is what is wrong these days. Mental Health is a REAL thing.

Kinda agree with the original poster and That’s what’s ruining this sport everyone is just spewing stats without context. Yes her 100+ plus goals are not the same if she played in the ACC. like it or not that’s how it is.

Nice job by Stanford and USC . They stink and you can add ND also.

Hatters gonna detest... This is an incredible accomplishment and should be acknowledged, respected and celebrated. Would she have put up those numbers if she played in the ACC or Big 10? We will never know. What we do know is that when High Point competed against the more competitive teams i.e. North Carolina, Duke, JMU, Michigan she did just fine scoring 2 vs Duke, 4 vs JMU, 2 vs 2 vs Michigan and 5 vs North Carolina. Like it or not, High Point's "Strength of Schedule" Ranked #21 according to Laxnumbers.com which is pretty high. She is a stud and would most likely start/play every game for any team. I would compare her record to when Courtney Murphy did it at Stony Brook, both great players who would do very well at any school. Congratulations to her and her family as well as her coaches and teammates (we all know that some of you do not realize that lacrosse is a team sport) and for every goal that is scored many other players contributed (somebody cleared space, somebody moved the ball, somebody played good defense, somebody cleared the ball etc....). Erica Evans comes to mind when thinking of this, transferred from Canisus to Maryland and put up 74 points for The Terps. We are not talking about just any player on an average team we are talking about a "Great" player and she would be great on any team.

To all the haters out there, just be thankful that she is not on your daughters team because she would displace all but a few players on all of the Top Teams. :-)

Congratulations! Well Done.

When your daughter reaches/exceeds a conference goal or an NCAA goal, your comment will be “congrats honey, BUT you don’t play for a top team so it doesn’t matter”. Parent of the year award goes to……

Great accomplishment by the young lady at High Point but to say playing the level of competition she played did not contribute to her success is denying the obvious. Just look at her incredible numbers against lower tier teams. If she was the greatest scorer in the history of the sport she would be a 1st Team or 2nd team AA but I guess people handing out those awards are haters and jealous people as well and not realists.

Why is it that the womens games are all bunched together at the same time while the men’s are staggered on 2 days so you can watch all the games?

Duke going down hard. Guess playing all those cupcakes was not the best preparation. UNC pounding Virginia, don’t think anyone can beat them

Committee did a good job as all the seeds move on to next round.

Chalk from the top 8 seeds, going to be a great quarter finals. The lacrosse gods took care of Notre Dame and in my opinion Duke. Duke proves over and over again despite all of their advantages that they are not an elite lacrosse program. Very different being a consistent top 25 team and being elite. All of the nonsense they pulled with that schedule, running up their top player's stats in blowouts and being the top scoring offense in the country. What a joke and it was on full display today. They only led the stat sheet in three categories... turnovers, green cards and yellow cards. They only managed 6 goals on just 13 shots. Of the last 13 goals scored, Maryland had 12 of them. Duke scored 1 goal in the second half, shutout in the 4th quarter playing against most subs. Frankly, the effort and intensity left that game early and that is on the coach and the culture she has not been able to build after 26 years at the helm.

Agreed, it’s embarrassing. They are not respected due to their antics. Easy to route against. See ya next year for more of the same!

What’s the story behind Hillier not being on the sidelines with Drexel?

Personal leave

Looking forward to watching UNC smack around SB.

After yesterdays game that did not age well.

CN is the best player in Women's lacrosse. Nobody draws more defensive attention and creates more opportunities for her teammates than CN.

You have not been watching this year then. Have not seen any team lately treating CN like she is as special a player as you seem to think. Either she is hurt or lost a step but has not been what she used to be.

I heard that she was suspended in the middle of practice 2 or 3 weeks ago.

I was at the MD v Duke womens game and overheard a conversation about MD draw taker using a new Gait Draw stick stick. An update from the first one. This person said this is how they dominated Duke draw taker. The person said only Gait sponsored teams have this stick now. Has anyone heard anything about this stick or can you buy it anywhere?

In the middle of practice? What the heck did she do?

It's about $300.

I Actually read it was a personal leave. Whole different ball game than a suspension. So, if you don’t know for sure, don’t put that out there. Be responsible with your post.

Do you really think that Duke with all of their elite athletes and the elite parents can’t have access to elite equipment? IAmInsecure and their parents are the epitome of priviledge- if it’s to be had, they have it.

Wow, so bitter.

Bitter about what? So funny trying to blame the beatdown you look on the lack of a draw head. Maybe, no actually Duke just isn’t that good. Never was

No fan of Duke but the fact that you brought up "privilege" tells us all we need to know and that you obviously have an issue. Maybe it's bitterness, maybe you are envious, maybe you are jealous, maybe your are resentful or maybe you are just a hater through and through.

All the sticks now are $300.
Stop with the gadgets and just play good ball. Then graduate and go live a good life.

One point about Duke that hasnt been brought up, is that they do not have any transfers on their team.. yes they have 5th years but they're all OG Duke players.. cant say that about MD, UNC, Stony Brook.. probably most others in the tournament.. ( best offensive and Defensive players on Md transferred in this year)

This really sounds like a bad excuse for getting beat on the draw. By the way, there was a whole lot of lacrosse played that was not part of the draw. Duke was soundly defeated and a new draw head was not the reason.

I do not see that as a positive for Duke. Their best player last season was a transfer. Perhaps no one wants to transfer into that program. I see that as a negative given the environment.

Is Syracuse ranked too high? ;-)

i am sure MD coaches were thrilled EL was one of the refs. Very pro MD for years.

Quite the opposite... - I just like to see real athletes in the fray, instead of the over-drilled wannabees pushed onto us by their thirsty parents.

Florida wins with a different ref... this sounds like your version of the Duke folks crying about the miracle draw head...

For the last few weeks, I would agree with you. She has lost the wrap on her thigh and perhaps more healthy. Loyola definitely put their defensive focus on her today. She drew an immediately double all game and a few times in the second half what looked like a shutoff off ball but not a complete face guard. That clearly created space for her teammates, lots of open looks in the middle of the field. I like her additional role as a facilitator. Over the last 6 games, she has 10 assists, makes the team better, particularly if she is drawing a quick double. Lots of offense on that team. What has improved the last couple games is the goalie play, save % up and will make them a tougher out.

Hope you weren’t watching today when BS dominated. I know it hurts.

Ok, so the quarters were mostly grossly mismatched teams blown out. Northwestern got some well deserved revenge and was not shy about it! Was impressed with the effort by StonyBrook. They gave everything they had, but got bad calls and were playing with girls with a lot of heart. Should be proud. Best game of the day!

Kudos to Stoney Brook women for an impressive showing, but bad calls?? That team flops and dives all over the field and now with better tv/live streaming coverage of women's lacrosse the entire country can watch it first hand! Drawing charges is smart lacrosse and not done enough at the top programs and they must work on it, credit to them. The amount of additional flops and grabbing they do is terrible. The team that complains the most to the refs is usually the team that is committing the most fouls, Spallina is the perfect example. That team is a reflection of their top tier the coach that tries to get away with too much. Watch all the BS away from the ball and the poor me stuff is going to back fire on him in the future.

Stonybrook defense played great. No face guards needed just a solid defense. You hear all about the great defenders on UNC and BC but they need to face guard. I guess the coaches aren’t as confident in their defenders abilities as they say they are.
