This is especially true if your daughter is a strong STEM student. Female engineers in particular are highly coveted at a number of schools, including some of the schools listed above.


BUT, many D1 schools don't want lacrosse players to have engineering, medical or nursing majors. That's a fact. They really want business, psych, communication, African studies majors...


Find me one Girl on the Lacrosse Team that Majors in African Studies at any of the following:

Duke, Virginia, Boston College, Princeton, Penn, Northwestern, North Carolina, Penn State, Stanford, Maryland, Hopkins, Florida, Georgetown, Syracuse, Michigan, Stony Brook, Louisville, Ohio State, Albany, Southern California, Cornell or Hofstra.





This has been looked at before. Look at the top 15 girls on Northwestern all are taking easier majors than the bottom 15. If you don't think the high minute, highly productive, highly recruited studs are being directed to certain majors you are fooling yourself. You need to look at the top 10 girls on each team. Top 20 D1 lax is a fulltime job and all the pols say that they spend more time on sports than academics
