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


That’s just a ridiculous post. Just as good on paper as many teams in the top 15 is ridiculous , they had a mediocre season last year and their 3 studs that can play anywhere is just as ignorant . They play in a weak conference and perform average at best . Stony Brook will maul them , running clock at some point.


Very typical response. Aside from playing in a weaker conference than Hofstra and running up the score on inferior opponents what exactly has Stony Brook done? They have put up gaudy numbers vs weak teams and they have recorded strong regular season records while playing a relatively weak schedule (compared to traditional top 15 teams) but in the end that's all that they have done. When you break it down and look at the actual results, they have under achieved and or s#%! the bed every year in the playoffs. Stony Brook is certainly a very good program but they have been over hyped more than any team in the history of women's lacrosse.


Really ignorant response after SBU just beat the 3rd ranked team in the country. When was the last time Hofstra beat a top 5 team



Here is the reality. Stony Brook is an excellent program, IMHO certainly one of the 15 Best Programs (over the past 7-8 years) in the country. That said, They have been given way too much hype. Based on all the hype... Stony Brook has actually under achieved when it matters most in the NCAA Tournament.

Good coach but at some point if you want to be considered up there with the best you have to at least make it to the Final Four.

BTW, I do think that JS is an excellent coach.
