I detest to break up the fun here, but everyone should hit the brakes on the D1 or bust thing. D3 can be a better deal all around, even for girls that could make many D1 teams. You can get as much money (won't be listed as an athletic scholarship), high level of play (some teams are near mid-tier D1 level) and better quality of life. You shouldn't use D3 as an insult, even on this silly forum. I'd be willing to be you that the majority of girls that go straight to D3 are overall happier with their college sports experience than their D1 counterparts. If your kid is a true top-tier lax player, like top 50 in the country at her age group, and lives, eats and breathes the game, D1 is the obvious choice. For everyone else, they should at least be considering D3 as a serious option, even when they could make a good D1 roster.
Every athlete needs to consider the " Broken Leg Test' before applying and accepting any college offer!
