Lacrosse is a mere infant compared to BAsketball in terms of popularity and growing the game. Lax is where W basketball was 20-22 years ago when title IX kicked in. Big schools with big funding are adding teams, and in time the sport will enjoy that parity. Rule changes such as the shot clock will add excitement to the game and bring more fans.


If they really want to grow the game they better go the way of soccer at the younger ages. Smaller fields, less players, which forces more touches (YES Forced)need to keep average players involved at the younger ages. Too many kids are leaving the sport at young ages because bad youth coaches condone 2 girls scoring all 20 goals in a 20-8 game. Lacrosse has a bad rap at the young levels with coaches giving up on kids way too early. Cant catch in 3rd grade? got to go. Not playing travel in Kindergarten going to MD on the weekends? Got to go

I would still argue that by 6th grade 75% of those soccer kids quit. A lot of kids try a lot of sports but at some point you need some god given athletic ability.

In most Northeast towns, soccer beats lacrosse head counts by 10-1 and that's a problem. We need better coaches who preach moving the ball around at the younger ages which will keep more kids in the sport longterm

SS has been doing such a bang up job with Hofstra she has decided to add coaching the LI franchise in the new Women's Pro League, which by the way doesn't have any games on LI in their first season. Hofstra, Top Guns and LI Women......somebody is not getting full attention.

Hunter Isnardi killing it at Mercy, with great supporting cast , they are 6-1 under that new coach Dawn Anselmin. She only recruits Long Island girls, and as an Adelphi stud she knows what she's doing. Tip my hat to this kid.

Go to the turnpike in Levittown and boom- you have a team that is led by a coach with record breaker awards etc, when she was a college player yet her team is struggling with her hand picked recruits. Hofstra got a much needed boast with a win they barely woke up for.

Adelphi keeps rolling along and takes no prisoners with McCabe at least be helm, tougher games coming up but I'm digging his confidence
.
Dowling playing ugly lacrosse, too many fouls take away from the game and defense needs to pass the ball. You have one job, you know better.

Molly could be the sleeper team, talent both ways buy young.

Stony Brook a power house that could humiliate Hofstra.SB roster deep with talent that is wasted on sides, let Emma play coach, dem dare girls are good.

Post is post-which way is wind blowing? No harm no foul, everyone will be happy if they come in at .500%

SUNY Farmingdale can't field a team! If you daughter/son is remotely considering a career in any subject there ( homeland security, dental hygienist, nursing) look at

this sleeper school, so many to choice from and walk on lax, soccer and hoops.

Farmingdale is far from a walk on in soccer and other sports. All those LI kids that stay home make for stacked teams year in and year out

I think rather than saying these young women/teams are overachieving or underachieving I think it may be more a case of overestimated and underestimated. You are what you are.

Virginia 5 losses, Duke some really bad losses, I agree to some regard about Stony Brook but of their three losses they were to #2,#7 and #8 Tough close losses but losses none the less. I would also put Hopkins in there. Some teams that still rank very high have losses vs teams not in top 20. Hofstra obviously struggling losing to good and bad teams. It is one those years, anyone can win on any day minus Maryland.

Duke is supposed to be there, Hofstra is not. Still doesn't mean Hofstra isn't disappointing. Duke is a mess

NU up to #7. Great frosh goalie is keeping them in games. they need to get better on O, but might be a tough out later in the season. Tough schedule though. May be 10-6, 9-7 in regular season.

Really why? (Now 4-4 btw) I only see 1 team behind them in the poll I think deserves to be ranked ahead of them at this point (USC). So maybe an 8 ranking is more accurate, but still top 10. You see, NU plays the hardest schedule in the country. Their SOS so far this year is #1 in country. They have lost to SYR, Louisville, UNC and Virginia. The first 3 of those teams are ranked ahead of them at 3,5 &6. 12 of their 16 regular season games are against top 18 teams and 6 of those are against the other 9 top 10 teams. Are they a great team this year, no. They have many flaws. But they are a top 10 team. They will likely end the year w a 10-6 or even 9-7 record. Given their schedule, that would indicate they should be around 10th. All makes sense. Sorry you have some arbitrary poll rule about wins and losses but hopefully now you can refine your understanding with some facts. GO CATS!!

Lets hear it Stan the Cardinal. A drubbing at the hands of 14th ranked Stony Brook. 17-7. Stanford plays no one, and the few good teams they play beat them handily. Sorry, they are pretenders at this point.

Nice win for SB, but they will choke when it counts! And can we even compare a SB degree with Sanford? That's what really matters!

I agree. Education is important and Stanford is a GREAT school but the "My school is better academically than yours" talk after a loss at this level is the talk of losers and I'll take the person with a winning attitude over anyone that justifies losing, no matter where they went to school. But that might be just me. I think your statement does not do the student athletes at Stanford justice. I am sure the Stanford girls aren't on the plane flying home giggling to themselves about Stony Brook's supposedly lack of academics compared to Stanford. If they are they deserve to lose every game. This is Division 1 lacrosse not the Mathletes. Make no mistake Stanford's athletic program is in the business of winning, on and off the field. You don't seem to be apart of that attitude.

AHHHH ... but he didn't mention majors. That's the dirty little secret. Stanford kids for the most part don't take the difficult majors, you know the ones that the school is known for. In fact, many of them take the gut major. But in typical Stanford style, the parents can't handle telling their friends that their daughter is taking rocks for jocks etc, so they name the major Science, Technology and the World. Funny. You will find your share of girls lax players and football players in this major. In addition, Stanford would probably not like people to know about "The List". Quite the scandal at the "Farm". This was a couple years ago when it was revealed that the athletic department provided athletes with a list of courses that were easier and where professors would give athletes better grades. Of course many times it's not professors, but TAs that are teaching the courses, because Stanford professors couldn't give a crap about undergrads. They are all about their research. I can certainly put the links on here for you to find all this information, but it is probably easier for to Google it. Ironic that Google was founded by Stanford grads. They however did not use "The List" and are the kind of people Stan the Cardinal want to use to say what a great degree his daughter will have. Sorry Stan, she won't. She will be viewed as an athlete that got in to the school because she plays a sport well. As a recruiter, I will totally discount the paper diploma unless she takes a real major, which likely she won't. And by real at Stanford, I mean computer science, pre med or engineering, not history. If she wants a history major, there are much better schools for her. As an employer, I will value a degree from a top D3 program over her Science, Technology and the World degree. So Stan, not only is your lax team sub par, but the degree you think is so valuable, ain't worth what you think it is.

Now we should probably get back to the subject of this website, Lacrosse. And Stanford has proven to be not so good at that.
