ok got it ... u r a NU hater ... Not a top 15 team? Silly
What has N.U. done THIS year to deserve being top 15
Well have you watched their games? I have. They are a top 15 team. They have lost on the road at SYR by 4 and UVA by 2. They won on the road at Duke by 3.
Last year they were 14-7 and were a final 8 team. When your favorite team, Stonybrook I'm sure, plays a real schedule, get back to me. What has Stones done THIS year, to warrant a top 15 ranking? See how silly you sound??
You sound very angry......why it's just my opinion. Yes I have watched 2 f the 3 games (not the Duke game, also not in my top 15) and I.M.H.O. they are not playing like a top 15 team, nor do I think they have recruited very well over the last couple of years so I.M.H.O. I think they are on a down slope right now.
You also seem to make assumptions about people you have never met, so let me state unequivocally, I do not like Stony Brook or there coach in any way, so obviously my daughter does not go their, which should have been obvious when I said she does not attend any of my top 15 schools. You are quit obviously the parent of a N.U. student, or at least a rabid supporter of the program, so let me give you insight to my mindset. I am a fan of the game not to ay 1 school, I cheer hard for my daughter and want her to do well, but that measure of success does not hinge on how well her lacrosse team does in college. She has picked a difficult major that is frowned upon by most coaches, but still plays for a D1 team, and has played significant minuets, so I.M.H.O. she is already successful. She will leave school with a degree in something other than numbers and science, and will not have to do any additional years because she played the sport she loves. Will she win national championship...... no, but because of the hard work she puts in she's already a champion in my mind
Might you be the one who sounds angry? No parent of an NU student here. You don't think they have recruited well? They have a great group of young players. That is why they r "struggling", they r playing a ton of young players. I do always find it interesting when parents like to make backhanded digs at other kids like you just did. Basically saying that any kid who plays at a place like NU (or any other top lax program) is majoring in "numbers and science". Hate to inform you, but there are plenty of kids both playing high level lax and getting great degrees. Nobody said anything about your daughter. You are the only one here putting impressive young women down. Shame on you.
I never said any girl was not a good payer, so what are you talking about. You really need to check your anger. I said N.U. isn't recruiting well, the group of girls they have recently recruited are not the as good as years past and I.M.H.O. will not be able to keep them in the top 20. I know that N.U. allows there players to take challenging majors, but you have to admit 17 of the top 20 do not, and if you don't YOU are the one kidding themselves. Many schools are playing young rosters, including my daughters team and with the addition of so many teams good players have the option to play and attend different schools, so what I have been saying is that any of them could surge far ahead at any time, or could drop just as fast. I personally find you obnoxious when you make it sound like a degree from the top 20 schools are somehow better than the bottom 20, it sounds like you are disparaging anyone not going to those schools when they are working just as hard in both the classroom and the gym. I am not angry at all i am grateful that my daughter is able to play the game she loves with good people at a high level that many girls that play will never know. She gets the added bonus of learning what it's like to take a team and build it through hard work
