Dear UA: Why did you let girls from LI, who unquestionably live on LONG ISLAND, and do NOT attend schools in New England, try out for the New England team?
This is a clear violation of your stated eligibility rule as stated on the Under Armour Lacrosse website as follows: "You MUST live within the geographic region for the team you are trying out for..."
Clearly the girls on the NE team from LI did NOT live in the New England/Geographic region... and they did not make their own region's team.
If there is a different rule or interpretation of this rule which allowed these LI girls to tryout out for the New England team after not making the Long Island team, then please enlighten the lacrosse community because it is a question that deserves an answer.
This is setting a very bad precedent and takes away from the spirit of the tournament.
Just curious, was your daughter on the LI team ? Did she try out ? or do you live in new England and these 2 girls took spots from someone you know ? just trying to figure out your motivation for bashing 16 yr old student athletes who probably very much wanted to play in the event.
