It’s opinion based on what people feel makes “the best player!” Seems many do not feel she is the best “all around “ player. I guess it depends on what criteria makes the best player ? I agree with some on here that say others are better team players and more deserving of the title. Just opinion

Some observations and comments on the anti-Charlotte North campaign. It is safe to say if any opposing coach knows the BC players and their impact on the offensive side of the field it is Syracuse's Coach Treanor. So who did she decide to face guard tonight, Charlotte North. Sorry, but that says it all to me. It takes your feelings out of it, your perception of how she behaves after a goal, or, how you consider her to be selfish and not a team player. Even being face guarded, she managed 3 goals and 3 assists. She also took every draw, which BC won more than they lost giving them more possession, albeit slight, but that makes the difference in a 2 goal game. She also entered the 400 point career club tonight, something only 4 other women have accomplished. By the way, any other player on BC ever get face guarded this season? Just by being face guarded, she makes her team better. It takes a great defender out of play and creates more space for the offense to operate. For the Belle Smith fan club, this is not a slight against her, I am a member of that fan club as well. She is a great player, one of the absolute best in the country and she is just a 2nd year player. She will go on to be one of the best to ever do it at BC, in the ACC and the game in general. We can compare the two again when both career's are all over, but Coach Treanor made it clear for me tonight.

Employing a face guard displays lack of confidence in your defense or incompetence as a coach, especially if your team traditionally plays a zone defense. When used against a strong player and a well coached offensive team the face guard will not be effective. Lacrosse is a team sport and good coaches utilize their entire team in all aspects of the game (one women teams do not win). When a face guard does work it usually because the player being face guarded is not a very strong player or the coaches of the player being guarded do not know what to do. This is not High School, the face guard is simply not effective vs a well coached balanced team or against a legit player.

Wow , get over yourself. Faceguards can be and have been very effective .It’s amazing you know more than these coaches that employ a face guard from time to time and yet you are on here spewing nonsense .
