Another nerve hit. When you put your USA hat on - you’re supposed to take your college or respective program hat off. And that’s clearly didn’t happen here. Girls cut and brought back. Girls playing subpar but being played over others. A process US Lacrosse swore was going to be transparent - and because of coaching egos became anything but that.

The competition at World Lacrosse was subpar. All the NU girls weren’t excellent - the stats don’t lie. And much of the stats some, NU girls and others, did pile up were done during stat padding moments up 12-2 or 16-0 or whatever.

Yes all the girls that made cuts along the way were good, and generally were always among the top. No denying that.

But your post basically acknowledges when the next tryout happens 4 years from now, if your daughter isn’t offered or recruited by the U19 Head Coach or the coaches involved with the selections you're wasting your time. From a National Team perspective that’s just wrong. And not what US lax promotes with their transparency and fairness approach. Plain and simple.
