totally agree w possession before restraining lines released.

They have eliminated some of the rinky dink fouls with no more empty checks but no question the draw circle becomes a mess.

I was thinking COY Munday. Or even Jessie Morgan at George Mason. Off the radar a little but has turned around that program very quickly. Reese is an obvious choice I guess, but you probably could coach that team and win.

Thanks for saving me this post.

Could not be better the preliminary bracket has the NW hating morons dream game . Good luck to the hater but I think NW will prove just what a moron he is. Strength of schedule has to matter and the committee has to try to put the best teams into the tournament taking , record, strength of schedule and other factors into account.

Confused. What preliminary bracket?

They are certainly in now though with the win over Michigan. They are assured of a .500 or better record. Ohio State is definitely out now with their second loss to Rutgers. Congrats to an improving Rutgers team. Unfortunately they now get Maryland in the B1G tourney.

you truly are pathetic. Every tries to move on but you will not stop. Even if they win that game, they're out next round

What is truly pathetic is the fact that you are saying everyone is trying to move on while addressing the topic and you do not see how truly moronic that is. You go on to further show your ignorance by saying they have no chance at winning their second round game, personally I hope they lose but that game can go either way. Have no allegiance to NW but will defend any group of girls that work as hard as they do against idiotic comments from you.

Can we get a separate NW thread so these guys can move on and the rest of everybody can talk about a very exciting time of year

That team just isn't very good so get over t

couldn't agree more!! ugly city, ugly lacrosse, ugly fans there and here. close down that outpost for the good of the game, and this tread. make it stop

I think until they are eliminated, NU man will not stop. Its unfortunate.

The haters must be miserable this morning especially the lead hater as the kid he is so jealous of played awesome . Got to love when a group of hard working young people prove a few vocal so called adults to be ignorant . Hopefully this ends the ill informed jeolous hateful spewing .That said does anyone know if the NCAA brackets that were out are legit or is there still some tweaking .

I have not been around the girls game long but how about this for the stall solution. Make it like the boys game were the refs call a stall warning and the offense has to keep the ball in the "Box," this reduces the field and puts pressure on the offense to be able able to keep the ball. Allows for easier doubles and stops the offense from spreading out the field What are the pros and cons of this? To my limited experience in the game this might solve some of the stall problem. No?

they r going to a 90 second shot clock next year

Not sure what brackets you're talking about, but the NCAA selection show is tomorrow night.

The NU unconditional love crowd is a little ahead of themselves.

Which hasn't been well thought out, blowouts are going to be insane scores - Maryland is beating Hofstra 13-4 at halftime, what are they supposed to do for the next 30 minutes? the rule maybe helps a handful of close games and playoff games from getting stalled to death and being unwatchable, but will have a negative impact on most games. I agree that something more along the men's lines would be infinitely better for the game than the 90 second clock

Wow , very powerful and detailed statement , difficult to dispute your statement as no one knows exactly what you are babbling about .

I thought VCU would finish higher than Mercer.

Pretty simple solution ... shut off clock at 10 goal lead just like running time

Another simple solution is to sub. Keep putting different girls into the game and spread the playing time in blowouts. Game gets close then you put better players back in. No need for a girl to get 10 goals in a 20-5 blowout.

Watched garbage time of the MD semi the other night - really surprised by the steep drop off in talent. Guess the next tier you would expect to be there went somewhere else where they could get minutes.

I spoke to a D 1 coach and they said they would never go past 30 girls on the roster because right now 24-30 are drill killers. More does not nesesarily mean better

Most notable, Alex Aust left as Volunteer Assistant and her younger sister left as well. Sister would have been a sophomore this year....

What Alex are you talking about?

Terrible draw for Stony Brook.

And how about the UNC bracket?

UNC
Notre Dame
Louisville
NU
Duke
Loyola

Toughest top to bottom.

Penn gets the cake walk to a meeting with Florida

the MD NU game shows just how physical the womens sport is. more chopping than a hibachi restaurant and the officials haven't pulled out a single card. NU players with cut off shirts to show how jacked the are from old-school powerlifting routine. game is changing so rapidly.

No respect - looks like a 13 seed based on playing #4 in the Quarters.

If Penn deserves the 7 seed (no idea if they do) they should play Florida (#2) in the Quarters.

And also shows that NU has improved a lot over the course of the season. However, just as their defense was starting to gel, holding penn st. to 6 and keeping Maryland under control, they lose one of their key defenders to what looked like a bad shoulder/collar bone injury. Just not their year, but looked better against Maryland than I thought they would.

Final four looks to definitely include Florida and Maryland based on the brackets. SB/BC/SYR/USC is a tough one to call, but likely SYR and the other bracket looks tough. UNC is the favorite of course, but they had a one goal win over Duke in the ACC tournament, an OT loss to Louisville, an OT win over NU and a couple of tough games w ND that they pulled away late in each.

Penn and Cornell being seeded is a joke. The committee has some strange ways of doing business.

SB wasn't taken seriously losing 3 of the only 4 hard games they had. Their big goal scorer won't be taken seriously in the Tewaaraton voting either. Most points doesn't mean best player

The fact they are not seeded is embarrassing when Penn and Cornell are.

NO one wants to watch women looking like men. Keep the speed creativity and fluidity in and get the jacked women out and GET THE HACKING OUT OF THE GAME! This is 4 years and done. Have the ladies still be ladies after 4 years

That's the LI way at every level - Club, High School, College Pad pad pad those stats

What great wins does Cornell or pen have ? That committee got some explaining interesting how committee for me are very transparent with NCAA rankings last few weeks and a full explanation on seeds w last few in or out. Women's side always seems warped

I think you are mistaken about the UNC louisville game

Check out the D3 bracket if you really want to be confused.

$$$$ brackets and seedings are based on $$$. Clearly the NCAA is looking to keep the travel cost down.

JMU and Penn State look to be the only two teams that need to fly to first and second round games.

Makes it easier and less costly for the schools, families and fans.

Good luck to all.
