Severn lost. Beard had 2, which is respectable but not a field day.

Not a lot of talent around her. I watched some of it. She gets doubled and tries to dish and girls struggle to catch.

I’m more baffled by playing a different goalie every quarter.

4 D1 committed goalies. Guess coach would rather keep everyone happy over playing the best.

Much like mcdonogh a decade earlier.

Maryvale will remain strong the next two years as the 2027 and 2028 classes stay intact. Talent will begin dropping off as 2030's and beyond choose other schools. Unless MV brings in a "connected" coach, there isn't much else to offer going to MV.

That being said, like the previous poster, still baffles me why girls/parents attend a school based strictly on the lax coach.

Families of 27 and 28 girls are already exploring other schools. The most talked about replacement who has applied isn’t an inspired choice.

Why would 27 and 28 go to other schools? They will have already committed to colleges. Why not continue to play with top talent and continue to dominate?

Did they all play today? Don’t they have 5 goalies?

Only 3 of the 5 played. There is no way to make 5 goalies happy. If you are playing to win, play the best one or split halves with the best two. A conference game shouldn’t be a time to rotate your goalies to make sure they all play.

It’s still early, they may want to use game time to make final decisions on starters.

I watched on Hudl, gotta clean up things on defense and offensive end there, outplayed JC imo, shot selection was major issue. Very deep at goalie, obviously but wasn’t factor here.

A few girls have good public school lax programs they could go back too. Glen Elg and Marriott’s Ridge. Maybe mom and dad will no longer want to pay for a school just because of its lacrosse coach. Maryvale isn’t a high academic private school and GlenElg and Marriotts Ridgge are decent schools academically.

This is what I was thinking. Parents might have thought it was worth the sacrifice (distance, cost) for a certain coach, but may see the value in staying close to home if they have a good public school with a good lacrosse team. I think especially for some of the HoCo 28s who will already be recruited and have at least one IAAM championship, maybe 2.

Families choose the school b/c they have a castle! lol. Seriously, it is a beautiful campus, class size smaller, and who wants to wear a dumb dress and saddle shoes. Although the red blazer is a little outdated too. Baltimore traditions die hard. IYKYK

Who knew we had a fashion consultant in the forum!

Exactly - who knew private schools had uniforms...shocking!
Picking a school for a lacrosse coach is dumb. what a world.
