Nice schools but lacrosse wise they just can compete.





USC is definitely a competitive program. Colorado is fighting to be a Top 20 program. Stanford is much more than a nice school and if there is an opportunity for a young women to attend Stanford she should strongly consider it.


Yup, of course she should consider Stanford. But not if she wants great academics AND a nationally competitive lacrosse team. For that she should look to Princeton, Northwestern, Duke or Penn for better examples. Thems just the facts, I reckon.


The schools that you mention obviously get better recruits so if you want a great education and you are not offered a spot at one of those schools Stanford would be a great opportunity. Or if you simply wanted to head out west and play at a great school.

One thing that I find interesting on here is that people seem to think that all players have the choice to attend one the top programs. The reality is that most kids are not offered a spot at the top programs. It works the other way as well, most programs do not get to choose the best players.

For the most part, year after year the top programs grab the majority of the best players.
