vlc was missing a fogo, goalie, and a handful of midfielders due to spring break vacations. they beat nl 9-2 at full strength this spring
I saw VLC 2021 play at full strength. They definitely have talent and may be one day as heralded as 2017. But a third of the team seems to have low lacrosse IQ and skills that may have looked good for rec, but won't sustain them at the next level. That's probably why the VLC dudes play the team at AA not AAA. Next year, with real tryouts and tough cuts, they might be able to beat Madlax or Crabs or DC Express. Until then, they'll have to grapple with the second tier teams.
