If they choose and place my daughter on A team of 28 players, then they better damn well play her. otherwise make 2 teams of 14 and group the girls properly. Cant have it both ways when they are the evaluators

nobody ever talks about this because its indefensible

over heard a couple of refs talking. Not sure where to go with this, Spallina is looking for a mens college job with a major college. Why ? Mens coaches make twice the money..

How many highlight reels did Stukenberg end up on? Did she make it onto ESPN's top 10 plays of the week? I don't think so. I'm sure she's a great player and an even better person but she's no Ohmiller.

This is absolutely true. KO is a great player. The points totals are not the whole story though. Last year's 100 goal scorer proves that. I don't think anyone would argue that CM should have been in the "best player in the game" argument last year. Now KO is different. She IS one of the best players in the game. But the point totals put up against a decent, but not great, schedule, should not be the only determinant.

Here is a breakdown. and yes this matters:

Stony Brook played 22 games. 12 of the games were against weaker opponents. Many ranked well down in the rankings. In those 12 games KO had 46 goals and 57 assists = 103 points = 8.6 points/game.

In the 10 games against tough opponents (including Albany twice which is a stretch), KO had 31 goals and 29 assists. still very, very good numbers, but the average drops to 6 points a game split evenly between goals and assists.

Now, if you compare the "tough games" by SB to a Maryland, UNC or NU schedule, for examples, the game quality still does not measure up. So there is still one more level of difficulty in schedule that KO still didn't play.

But extrapolating the 6 points a game for KO to a full schedule somewhat more representative of the #4 team in the country, KO still puts up an amazing 132 points. 68 goals and 64 assists. Fantastic numbers by anyone's account, but not record-breaking and now much more debatable relative to the Tewaaraton.

Add-in a Maryland schedule adjustment factor of say .85 to that final total to account for what is still a schedule difficulty disparity, and you end up at 112 points. 58 goals and 54 assists.

So there you have it, KO is a great player. she benefits statistically a great deal by playing a weaker schedule than top players on other teams. Fact, not opinion.

So, you would have 2 subs? good luck with that

Old news, Michigan job, would never move his family to a non lacrosse hot-bed. His kids lax games would suffer too much and he is to involved in coaching their programs to start over there.

He could easily slide across the hallway at SB and coach the Men's team!

looking for a 2025 goalie? How can that be?

What do you care?! Interesting in applying?

What happened to the goalie?

Why bother? It's a public school. The money is in private institutions.

She was kidnapped in an Express line at the market by a guy who was with Recon on a 24 hour Liberty dressed as a Jester wearing a yellow jacket driving a 91 Legacy

That is awesome. You win the best post on BOTC award for today.

What the heck is going on with the 2023 age group?? An embarrassment to the brand!

What the heck is going on with the 2023 age group?? An embarrassment to the brand!

Would you care to add a little narrative as to why 2023 " is a embarrassment to the brand"???

What do you mean? 2023 Wright took down Steps Blue for the big win!!!!! Why is that an embarrassment? So confused????

1st they be at Ultimate(who beat Thorn) then beat Steps for championship.

The girl who was playing goalie for the team named Spallina has decided to play goalie for a boys 91 team for the summer.

It's an embarrassment for two reasons:

1. YJ is playing weak tournaments
2. 2023 B team is still beating A
