If this is a Y.J. parent all i can say is this is the same ol' song from last year, and look what happened, top Y.J. team didn't even get in top 4. Untill you can beat Sky Walkers you should keep quiet

Are you this dense , first it is not a 2017 tournament so settle down, YJ made it to finals and yes lost to skywalkers, 2017 and 2016 have beaten skywalkers every time they have played so calm yourself. That being said the 2017 person posting this nonsense is an idiot

at 2017 Skywalkers aren't even top 3 in Maryland. M&D, Hero's and TLC are, IMO, better teams

Are you dense? U-15 means any player under 15 years old, including any girl from a 2017 team. What it is not is a 2016 tournament. So maybe you should calm yourself. We dont all follow the pecking order of every age group, but what I do know is that some of you fellow tool Y.J. parents were saying the same crap last year and your #1 team got smacked by a club, then your #2 team got smacked by the same same club. With Cardinal , M&D , and Stickbenders in the race I would not be shooting off at the mouth just yet, but you think that you are superior because your daughter plays for the Yellow Jackets thats why you come on here calling people names. I only hope that she is a better person than you, But with an arrogant sounding parent like you, what are the chances?

Clearly not a YJ 2017 parent that team is very low key and successful, they go about there business very quietly. They have played all of the teams stated above and have welcomed the competition. Nice teffort trying to stir the sh*t up with this team but you are barking up the wrong tree.They are good,stay very active and fly under the radar in the drama department.

Can you shed some light on some of the entrants from the southeast, I don't know much about stick benders or cardinal where are the from, are these strictly club teams or a combination of multiple clubs?

Concerning age and grade of players the date of birth has to be
on or after September 1st 1997. So any player on any team that meets that reguirement can play. The tournament is age specific not graduation year.

The majority of players in this tournament will be 2016, a few 2015 kids will also be there and the better 2017 players.

Surprised MD felt that they needed to combine with NEMS and vice versa, two strong programs .

I'm surprised that US Lacrosse would allow this. It's really not fair to the rest if the clubs who are picking players just from their own clubs.

The entire 2017 Bert Yj team is going. A few 2017 players are playing on YJ Team One or Blue as they're calling it, and a few of the 16s are playing with YJ Team two which is basically the 2017 Bert team

Nems and M&D did not combine. A few girls from each club joined together with some other girls. The NEMS and M & D Clubs just did not want to send teams. With the heat and humidity in Florida as well as all the costs hard to argue why this makes sense.

I give the club owners credit. Do not see how any of the benefits outweigh the above.

32 teams from 17 states looking forward to the experience!

i really doubt any 2017 players are playing on the defo team unless they needed players to fill out roster

So if a new incoming 9th grade girl gets a roster spot in September is she eligible for that team? Mt daughter will try our for several clubs, just wondering how it works. Thanks

I assume you mean U15 team for summer 2014. She would be age eligible but I also assume each club has different methods of determining who makes the U15 team at National Champ. Most hold tryouts so a roster spot is no guarantee.

Incorrect assumption

We did beat them (YJ 2015 blue LM), against Skywalkers 2015 Blue. At next rematch in Annapolis, in fall tournaments. It was a great game. Many girls from both teams were recruited after the game. Both teams have many quality players and it proved that on any given day, anyone can win it. Best of luck to all teams playing u15 this year. It's a great tournament with amazing competition! And whoever wins...remember there is a match-up right around the corner in the fall!

Thank you. Hoping she joins a decent club with competitive coaches. I guess it's safe to say U15 tryouts won't be held until after teams are formed, which is great so the girls can practice more. Is the game televised?

Thanks "O's" keep pounding your chest.

Tryout for team are generally around May and June. No TV but you can follow live at US Lacrosse

Not to be a pain but what is the difference between two teams combining or joining together?

I'm not the one who made the comment, but from reading it my guess is that they meant the club representatives didn't get together and combine their teams, it is girls from each who formed a team on their own with some other girls. But then again, I shouldn't assume.

That's a great idea, seriously-if a player does not make her clubs U15 team then she can grab a group of girls and a coach and enter?

If the 2017 team that qualified at unmass is not going it is unfair to the girls. If a group of girls qualifies by winning a spot they should go the organization should not choose. If that is what is happening.

The qualifying team from UMASS is going but six of the 2017 players will be playing on Defo's team, the rest of the 2017s are on the second team. Carol took the strongest players from 2017 and put them on Defo's team plus their goalie. couple of 2018 players also on second team as well as the goalie. Not all of Defo's players were asked and two of his players are on the 2017 team with a 16 Curcio player.

Why so much roster movement for a national championship tournament? Doesn't seem right I know its the norm but if you played your way in, you should play with that team in the championship. This is not a showcase

Strongest team was put together so they can win. 2017s have a shot to go next year

Where are all the girls from Ceraso's 2016 team?

Good question. I was surprised with two teams going that none of
Cerasos girls were asked?

Are you sure no one was asked? hmmmm

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
