I will give you that Top D3 teams would have trouble with the Top D1 programs but if you don't think the perennial Top D3 girls programs couldn't ABSOLUTLY SMOKE the D1 teams ranked 50-100 you are kidding yourself. Nothing wrong with either choice but get down off your high horse until you truly understand how good some of these non scholarship D3 schools are. I am glad your kid got $8,000 to go play at #97 LIU Brooklyn but don't poo poo the rest. The bottom 50 this year
