People say that every year!

Last season Mercy lost 16-8 to MDS and 10-2 to RPCS in scrimmages. MDS and RPCS won a combined 2 games in the A conference last year. Mercy went undefeated in the B conference. That should tell you all you need to know about the difference between the A and B conferences.

The difference between the 'A' conference and the 'B' conference is exponential. Same with between the 'B' and the 'C' conferences. Generally speaking, 'A' conference teams will consist of mostly club players from very strong club teams and 3-5 game impact players. 'B' conference may have 5 or 6 club players with maybe 1 exceptional impact player on a team. 'C' conference teams might have 1-3 players from club teams and are mostly made up of athletes from other sports like soccer or basketball and lacrosse is their "second" sport. Just kind of what I have noticed over many years of being involved in IAAM lacrosse.

It’s very hard for a coach to recruit “A” level players to a school in “B” conference. A school like Mercy would have a hard time taken that next step. Have a great soccer program maybe if they could find some soccer players that also play lax.


You definitely have a point. Though if they moved to the A conference recruiting would be a bit easier and they would have a much bigger pool of girls to recruit from. Not every kid or parent wants to or has the means to send their kid to St. Paul’s and McDonogh. Mercy could be a great alternative. They could focus on the middle of the pack players and sprinkle in a top tier player every other class and have a competitive team. Other schools have done it like gcs and trying to do it like gfs.
