I don't think anyone can argue that they aren't doing okay based on their record and achievements. They are well coached with players with solid skills. However, if they add some speed and athletisism to their line up they can be even better. They should focus on speed for their summer pick ups to add to their already good team.

They’ll be looking for speed with good skill level (who isn’t?). Also guessing good defenders could find a home with them.

And who isn't looking for good defenders? Same logic applies. Every team out there has maybe 1-2 at best good defenders and can always improve in that area.

The girls are still young and have much to learn and develop, no position should be off the table. Take the best athletes with the best stick skills and teach them to play where your team needs them. Athletecism and stick skills > position specific knowledge at this stage of the game.

This.

Specialization in any position besides goalie and draw specialist before high school is ridiculous and inhibiting many girls development.

I ran into a friend at lax for the cure who had a 2030!daughter playing. She informed me that she was low attacker. Are you kidding me?

This is everything wrong with girls lacrosse.
