It’s no wonder that more LI lacrosse fans hope they lose than any other college team.


Did not see the game but will tell you that SBU is very good. There conference is no more hideous than many others. Lets face it, there are 20 - 25 strong teams on any given year and there are about 15 teams that are consistently very good (top 20 every year). Stony Brook has done an incredible job, they have become one of the Top 10 - 15 programs in the country. As far as conferences go you have The ACC which is stacked, North Carolina, Boston College, Syracuse, Virginia, Notre Dame and Duke are always good. The Big Ten has Maryland, Northwestern and Hopkins who are always in the mix and it now looks like Michigan has arrived. In the Ivy it is traditionally Princeton and Penn but similar to Michigan it looks like Dartmouth is now a solid program. PAC 12 is USC and Stanford with Colorado picking it up. Patriot is Loyola and in recent years Navy has become competitive. CAA has been owned by JMU who has probably won it 8 of the 10 years.

Stony Brook has to make sure their starters are ready for the NCAA Tournament.

Any team can beat any team on any given day but the good programs win on a consistently over time and Stony Brook has proven they can do that.

Everybody does not get a trophy and NCAA Division I Women's Lacrosse is not High School or PAL (which are about the same).


Forgot Penn Stat in the Big 10.. The are a Top 15 Program .


Most all polls have Penn State at 25ish. They had a couple years were they were just inside top 20, one good win in ncaa tournament over Princeton a couple years ago had them near top 10 (underserved) starting out the following year and they fell down to earth quickly. Decent team to be considered top 15 in their best years and back and forth to about 30. This is their range. So they may be a contender in the BIG10, but in the big picture, not so much.
