LI Express CoachC 12-3 Annapolis Hawks Green
Express coach can coach and build a roster. Hawks coaches still stands around screaming like a maniac dropping f bombs while abusing his son verbally and emotionally for 40 minutes. That's the biggest difference with those teams.
There are more differences than just that. LIE is a great team on a national level; the Hawks were nationally dominant a couple of years ago, but now they are a very strong local team on par with VLC, DCE, MadLax, and NextLevel. No shame being part of that group because they all play great lacrosse, but none of those teams can hang with LIE.
Summer will be here before you know it. The only team in the DMV to hang with LIE or the top 10 teams will be DCE. VLC never, Next Level never and Madlax not happening. Looks like the top teams didn't feel the need to travel to Florida for US Clubs Nationals. Looks like Maddog and Sweetlax ran the table down there. DCE will #rundmv
Happy New Year!
None of those teams ever go to Club Nationals, except Madlax, so not sure what point you are making.
You're correct that VLC, NL, and ML are a notch below LIE, but so is DCE. each of those four (except possibly NextLevel) could beat the other three.
