Those other teams such as BC are also guilty of being unsportsmanlike but there did seem to be some differences . The teams BC have run it up against are not the caliber that Duke is doing it against and it looks to me that the removed their top scorer early when she had scored no more than she normally does against the top 10 teams . Duke has kids padding their stats putting up numbers they have no chance at getting against the best teams .

Complete BS.

Duke leads D1 lacrosse in goals per game at 23 beating their 4 opponents by a combined 92-26. Duke has the #1 and #2 point and goal leaders in the country scoring a combined 42 goals compared to 26 by their opponents. With Wofford and East Carolina coming up the onslaught should continue. The #3 points leader in the country has played two ranked teams, the #4 one ranked team and the #5 two ranked teams. Duke has played Gardner-Webb, High Point, Elon and William & Mary. That is why Duke is catching grief.

Bla, Bla, Bla... plenty of other teas running up the score. Could care less about who Duke plays or how many goals they score. Other teams doing it and nobody is complaining.


This response is ignorant on many levels. Other teams have been called out many times over the years at both the collegiate and high school levels for doing exactly that on this site. The other teams are doing it so its okay excuse is ridiculous and these coaches should be better than scheduling obviously overmatched opponents and running up the score . Duke is a good team and there is no reason to do this other than having some of your players pad their overinflated stats,
