Do you HEAR yourselves??? It's about the education and the place your daughter feels MOST comfortable in. Most importantly your daughter's HAPPINESS!!! I don't care if it's the most prestigious school, or the best lacrosse program. At the end of the day it's not about the lacrosse. It's about her happiness, how she develops as a person, relationships etc. It's a game....
Well said.
Yes she chose the place she felt most comfortable. How is it wrong that it also happens to be a high level of lacrosse and a great academic school? She can be happy, develop as a person and relationships there as well. She somehow would have a better chance of doing that at a lower academic school with a lesser lacrosse program?
Very well said.
Hear are "arguably" the Top 20 programs.

Penn State
Notre Dame
Loyola
Duke
Umass
Georgetown
USC

Throw in.... JMU, Navy, Colorado, Denver, Hopkins, Dartmouth and Umass.
Michigan had a great year maybe they will become a consistent Top 20 Program.
Vanderbilt is a great school with a solid program.
Richmond looks to be on the rise as well and is an excellent school
There are large Public Universities with excellent academics, Ivy League Schools, smaller schools with excellent academic, Top 10 - 15 Big Name Universities, New England Schools, Mid Western Schools, Mid-Atlantic schools, Southern Schools, Western / Mountain Schools, West Coast Schools, City schools, etc...
If none of those schools work go look at Towson, Hofstra, Monmouth, UConn, Bucknell, Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Brown, Cornell, Rutgers, Ohio State, Virginia Tech, Louisville, Boston University, Fairfield, Marist, Jacksonville, Elon, High Point, Oregon, Arizona State, San Diego State, Cal "Berkeley", Lehigh, LIU, Villanova etc...
Army West Point is on the rise and for the right person is an excellent opportunity.
Exceptional players can most likely find a great fit at a top 10 - 20 Program. Good players will most likely be able to find a fit at one of the other programs listed. So many solid programs and schools...., most players should be able to find a good fit.
Sorry if I left a school out... Just rattling off. There are so many opportunities for so many young women.
