Having good local lacrosse on LI is so great for the youth players to see


As the game continues to grow on a national level, some very good LI girls may not have as many opportunities to choose from. I still think the superstars can write their own ticket, but those very talented second level kids may not have as many doors opening up and decide to stay local. IMHO Hofstra not a top 15 team but could be around 20-25 . based upon the new rankings they still need to play 3 top 5 teams this year, MD, ND and SB. Ouch
