US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums MID-ATLANTIC LACROSSE MARYLAND FORUM Girls 2019

It's the start of the Fall 2016/Spring 2017 season. Use this thread for your posts regarding this age group

First post!

Wonder if we can get a separate topic for each girls club? similar to the boys with Crabs/Looneys etc

Here is a shot at a short list:
M&D
TLC
Capital
Heros rebels
Skywalkers

Wonder how many different threads you can post this on.

If you are ranking the clubs by just "A" level teams:

M & D
TLC
Heros
Skywalkers
Maryland United

If you are ranking the clubs based on having the best 2 teams in the 2019 age group:

Heros
Skywalkers
Maryland United
M & D
TLC

The "A" teams in these clubs are beating each other by a goal or 2. Heros "B" soundly beats all of the above "B" teams and Skywalker "B" soundly beats the bottom 3.

Good luck during your recruiting process for your daughters.

Oh and I forgot to mention. It appears Integrity Lacrosse Club is suffering with a huge amount of girls leaving. I wonder why that is?

MD United doesn't belong anywhere near the A list

Heros
Skywalkers
CAPITAL
M & D
TLC

Capital beat Skywalkers by 1 and lost by 2 to Heros yesterday.

Hero's beat Capital and lost to Sky Walkers. We're talking about the A division right?
I'm really liking the balance in the top 10 or so teams including the Long Island and northern teams. It makes for more worthwhile tournaments and better development for the girls.

And add M&D to mix and there is some great lacrosse in DC/Baltimore at 2019 level.

How do these top teams do against YJ from LI?

Back and forth

That's true for M&D. The other teams don't beat YJ.

Hero's beat YJ at Lax4Cure and G8 2 years ago. Sky Walkers also seems to do well against YJ. They are all very close. It's just too bad that the top 6 or 7 cannot play each other all the time. Driving up the Turnpike for some of those games is really not worth it.

And how about the Presidents Cup in FL next month--total money grab to go down to FL to play mabye 5 games when you could schedule something at McDonough for 1 day with M&D, Heros Capital and Skywalkers and get better competition!

Not one day - but, already done. Chesapeake Invitational.
Not McDonogh - close by - Parkton area. Sky Walkers, M&D, Heros, Yellow Jackets and Capital will be there along with many others. But, the hotels are more reasonable.

So which tournament is better- Rivalry Challenge or Chesapeake?

Heros put a massive beat down on mnd. Held mnd scoreless for first 40 min through great goal tending and tenacious defense. Great to see a team that heros couldn't beat for many years turn it around and dominate for two consecutive years.

wasn't it 6-3?

There really isn't a right answer for this one. It's all based on preference. If you are up for the great restaurants and beautiful views of the Severn - then Annapolis is it. But, lately, with the Chesapeake invitational - you have another option. Which one has better lacrosse? Who knows. Which one has more coaches? That can be argued all day.

Wow, what a beatdown.

Score doesn't reflect. Mnd peaked about two years ago. Others are peaking now which is why you see this happening. Tough to take but it's the truth. Hope their player is ok.

Who's the team to beat at McDonogh this weekend?

Salt City?

They went from two 2019 teams down to one, no drama. Sorry if it didn;t work out for you along the line. The team is very solid, has happy players, has some very nice commitments, and there more commitments to come. Stop looking stirring it up.

Maybe the program director...She is so pleasant.(jk)

Agreed. Solid club and team. Eight commits so far. I think that over the years the director has found that one team per age group is much better, i.e. less drama. It's not about trying to get as much money as possible for her, unlike some of the multi-team clubs.

Salt city??? Not even in the conversation

Salt City 2019 is a very solid team. I think they have girls committed to Loyola and NW. Not sure about other commits on that team. I saw them versus TLC at MA, they looked good

What's the story on Liberty 2019 Black? Came out of no where at Presidents cup.
They beat MND black (12-6) steps blue (8-6) and MD United (12-7) and just lost to SK 7-6. Definitely made a statement.

BEST TEAM ON LONG ISLAND

They are one of the best showcase teams in the age group.

They are a very special group, been following them for awhile now. They went 4-0 couple of weeks ago in 7v7 indoor tournament, anybody that knows lax, knows they are the real deal.

Don't want to burst your bubble, but M&D was missing a handful of their players to injury/basketball. I'm not sure if Liberty made a statement at a tournament where there were over 100 teams showcasing their players.

That sounds like a yj excuse. Ya got beat. Move on.

she works with her manhasset kids all year round!
What happened at the U-15, U-14, U 13 last year ?

Liberty 2019 Black was finalist at the U15 National championship lost to YJ in the final 7-4, their only loss of the tournament. they beat 2 YJ teams and Integrity before getting to the final.

She works with all her players in her club year round. It is a year round program. 2019 team has worked hard to get better. A bunch of late bloomers that are now able to compete with the top tier teams in the age group.

Liberty looked really good and fast. I think it is great this coach works with kids all year to make them better-it shows. It is amazing how people bash hard work when it is successful. The reality is this LIFE.

Right?! Bash players because they are successful, that's mature. Truly shows a person's character when they belittle a player for excelling.

She works with hes Manhasset kids about the same as Carol Rose works with her Northpot kids, though you never seem to bring that up. My daughter played on Liberty and I can assure you Danielle and her staff worked with my daughter almost every week exceot for maybe 6 or 8 weeks around Thanksgiving/Christmass.

FYI this is the Maryland forum.

and you guys arent all over the main forum , witch if you dont know is a long island forum. Remember this was started for L.I. lax, they are just giving you your own because you MD. people need to feel special

ALMOST ( I think last year was her year for the U15)
I see a lot of girls going to Igloo....

What was the score they beat 2nd yj team? Also, their three best players were 2018s...when only 19s played each other, 12-4 yj at summer genesis...just want to give the public both sides.

There is nothing in the title of the 2019 forum that designates it as LI only.

does showing the public "both sides" mean "make up lies"?

You seem defensive that, in the most recent tournament, Liberty did better than the yellow jackets

Get over it and don't worry about. It means nothing. No need to make excuses or talk (lie about) past games.

Both teams are very good.

the whole site was set up as a LONG ISLAND lacrosse forum that has spread far beyond our island, so by definition all main forums are LONG ISLAND forums. the Maryland forums is just a subtext. try and keep up with the logic on this one ok

What part of the statement is a lie? summer Genesis score/U15 2018 players? You familiar with tourneymachine.com? Your making this way too easy

Every team has days when they are missing players or just has a bad day, including Liberty. Genesis was one of those tournaments for the Liberty. Since that tournament, and over the last weekend Liberty has played extremely well, maybe not the "best in the country" but well.

The fact that you still are writing about it proves it... Liberty gaining ground on YJ and they are nervous.

On paper, with all their UNC, MD, FL, USC, Duke, ND etc. commits YJs should ALWAYS have better tournaments than the Liberty. The performance of Liberty last weekend which shows the result of hard work, determination and perseverance and is to be commended is not as surprising as the lackluster performance of the mighty YJs and their superstars. D1 coaches take note of these things. That's the reason you people are still writing about it.
I expect the next time the two teams meet, or even play in the same bracket, you''ll do so much better than them ... but this past weekend, you didn't. Liberty's performance at President 'S cup, championship at Project 120, undefeated at the Grind, undefeated at Capital Cup, undefeated at Rivalry and the Fall Lax for the Cure, has proven it should be included in the G8 "best of the best" tournament and if they aren't it proves the point that CR excludes them just for the reason that she is afraid another LI team might show her mighty bees up and people, especially from Nassau, realize they have an option would cut into her game.

YJ Blue team probably is, or can be when they all show up and play, the best on LI ... but Liberty is undoubtedly the 2nd best and is gaining ground every day.

you sound like a disgruntled lover when you talk about this, Congratulations you won at summer genesis, but the 2018 were under 15 at the time they beat you in Fla so deal with it, they didn't cheat they were of the right age get, over it. they played better than your daughter, maybe they finally caught up to your little princess and now you have to deal with the fact that shes not as good as you thought she was. Wait untill she goes to college and you find out that not only are girls you thought were beneith your little princess are starting above her , but that shes not going to get any real minuetes at all

Parent here- I'm not one to pressure my kids and go to every clinic and all that, but in regards to playing in a top division 1 program...is it "too late" if she isn't recruited yet? We need to narrow down schools she is looking where she can play and has her major.

Why are LI dads commenting on a MD forum? Go away.

If we L.I. parents bother you so much on a web site made for L.I. lacrosse, you could easily go start Back of the Crab and we will stay here on the site Started by, moderated by and made for L.I. lacrosse by Long Islanders

LIslanders who specifically made a MD forum for MD people. So again, why are you posting here?

Some of us MD parents comment on some of the forums that are mostly LI-centric, however they do not say for LI folks only. I say no harm, no foul.

Anyone is welcome to post here, but it's a MD forums, so talking just abou5 LI clubs is idiotic. Post on the LI forum about TransAms, carports, etc.

Okay - as a Marylander - I feel the need to apologize to the LongIslanders about the behavior of some of my Maryland brethren. I'm more of an open minded person and have no problems discussing lacrosse with the LongIslanders and in fact enjoy talking to a lot of them, especially over beers. In fact a shout out to any of the Massapequa folks on this forum - my wife has family out there. Again - I apologize for the attempted exclusivity of the Marylanders - they are so use to their clubs and their schools. Cheers.

I guess they're right: the good stuff does mellow with age.
The restraint on this forum is admirable compared to a lot of the younger forums. This is probably what they mean about leaving it on the field. Well, another summer season is upon us. Good luck to all the sophomores out there and safe travel for all their families.

So best club programs now that season over:

In no order--YJ, TP, M&D, Skywalker, TLC, Capital, MD United, Steps.....
