Championship weekend returning to Stony Brook in 2018 - looking forward to it.
Would like to see D3 join them as well. I thought Philly last year was great.
I think parents would be shocked at the high level of lacrosse being played at the top of D3. Many of these teams would blow the doors off lower ranked D1 teams. Lots of club parents seem to have a snobbish opinion when talking about D2 and D3 lax when in reality many of these schools are just flat out better. When Spalina was at Adelphi his teams would have crushed many D1's and competed with most. When you read the earlier post about D1 athletics being a fulltime job 5-6 hours or training a day many should look at D2 and D3
The "snobbishness" around D2 is deserved from an academic point of view. Most D2 schools are pretty [lacrosse] poor academically. D3 has some great academic institutions and strong lax. D3 also allows you to experience college fully, including going abroad for a semester if you choose. D1 and D3 are where it's at. D2 not so much.
