How about having a fantastic college experience overall...from what i see, there are many very young, immature girls with no clue what they really want to study committing to colleges with academic standards that are not always reachable. Couple that with delusional parents....its a sad result.

It is a varied combination of factors, from my experience. There is a direct correlation to academic work and playing time; when playing time is reduced and work load increases there is a tendency to leave a team. Also studying abroad coupled with an internship, which occurs during junior year, is factor.

There are a lot of programs, particularly new D1 programs, that are recruiting a lot of girls. That makes for a lot of players on the sidelines.

Another factor is just growing up. Sorry parents but be aware--social activities, romance, freedom--whatever you want to call it, is going to be a factor.
