On every measurable for what they do for BC as 1st team AAs, CN had a better day today and it was not even close. Go back to Friday and BC is not here without CN, that game was even less comparable for the two.


This is exhausting with you CN acolytes. No one is comparing the two today. Yes of course she had a better game and weekend. And yes, BS didn't play well either games. Yes Charlotte North played better than her both games. But, and it's a big but, people here keep calling Charlotte North the GOAT. Nonsense. You don't shoot 40% in a final game as a GOAT. You don't have the game on your stick with 5 mins left andbasically shoot in the centre of the net almost hitting the goalie in her face. I don't remember the best in any sport choking in the final 8 mins of a game like CN did today. Sure she played better than BS. And also JM which also stunk today. They lost by 1. She had multiple chances to put her team on top those final 8 minutes. Too bad she didn't get a call on a charge or a shooting space. Everyone could've fawned over her snipe from the 8 meter with 5 minutes left to go up instead of her hitting the goalie in a stick that didn't move.
BS had a fantastic Sophomore year. Unfortunately you guys are gonna have to watch BS for another two years. 53 goals this year as a midfielder. Sounds like an All American to me.[/quote]


They have been compared all year on this forum. I am here for both players success, just that CN has been better. Better through her first two seasons and we will see where their careers land. Despite all of their success, BC does not win a national title last year and does not make it to the finals this year if CN stayed at Duke. It will be interesting to see how many of the BC seniors stay for their extra year, several really important players eligible. Transfer portal also looms large. BS will get a chance next year and particularly in two years to be the alpha offensive player. Does she have 53 goals if she was face guarded like CN, if she drew the top defender like CN did, if she drew immediate doubles like CN did? In most games, JM drew the second best defender ahead of her. All important details when you consider those 53 goals. To me her value comes as a complete two way middie and all that encompasses. That is what makes her great, not how many goals she scores. As for the goat discussion, difficult to compare players across eras and positions so I will consider the last ten years... personally would take Treanor/Apuzzo over North as attackers that also took the draw.
