Did some of the calls seem to be unfair against YJ ,yes. On the other hand were the YJ players unable to adjust their style of aggressive play, yes.Did the YJ players make some of the dumbest unnecessary fouls, yes. In the end it seems the YJ players were unable to adjust their style to the fouls being called, many of which Tseemed based on reputation more then reality.Did it seem that this particular YJ team may have lost their chance at a natioEnal title because of a deserved reputation of overly aggressive play,who knows.
no question that LI plays a more physical style of play, but the refs in MD call as tight a game as any around the country.

Every Yellow Card was called by one ref. A ref that was had picked by US Lacrosse to make sure a message was sent because of the incident at lax for a cure. The calls were phantom at best! There was not one YC that would be called if that ref wasn't being purposely oversensitive! It is what it is. The squeeky wheel gets the grease. US Lacrosse reacted! So be it. What was plainly obvious though was the better team did not win the game. I am sure the SKY Walker contingent know this deep down! They are a good team but needed a lot of help to win that game and they got it! Let's move on!



Let's keep in mind that the YJ 2015 Blue LM cut 4 girls from the original 2015 team for tourney and replaced withe 2 14's and 2 16's, hand picked to strengthen team. SkyWalkers were down 2 ACL's ( one from lax for cure), a girl on vacation and one girl too old to qualify for U15. So, with only one sub, brought up 2 x 2017's who were little sisters of current rostered 2015's. Total of 3 subs. Extremely short bench, considering
the heat. The two hits after goals were scored were legit yellows as one girl was being monitored for a concussion by ESPN WWOS trainers and was not allowed to return.

Also, SW's were called for a Red card in the 1st half when a YJ spun into the defenders stick, bumping her head. One of our best players out. Played rest of game with the two 2017's as subs.



Let's keep in mind that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. You should keep in mind that you look like a fool when you state things as fact when you have no idea.When you put things in writing that are completely incorrect anything else you state should then be considered nonsense.


Kinda like what u just wrote? Just more words aimed at nothing. Try making a point like the previous posters. Then maybe there can be a discussion.

Ok. Fact: NO one was cut! The girls that didn't come had other things to do. Fact: The 2 YC's after the goals were not given until well after the play was viewed by the ref with no call. She reacted to the player on the feild. Fact: YJ player got a deserved YC for delaying the game by throwing the ball after a call by the ref but the Sky Walkers didn't after doing the same exact thing. Fact YJ girls got knocked illegally on their butts after plays a number of times with no call. There are a lot more facts but none of it matters. The game is over and there was a winner. Life isn't fair all the time! You can't win the war of words on a message board. Everyone will have their own take and it is usually a bias one on both sides. It would have been nice to see a game between 2 full stregnth teams to determine the winner. In the end I am sure the Skywalkers would have liked to have it that way too. They are a good team and I am sure didn't want to win that way.
