I do think most people on here who throw mud at her are simply jealous of her success.

She has put SR on the lacrosse map. If you don't like the intensity she brings, there are plenty of other options in the DMV to consider.

Too late for us. Save yourselves!

ISL AA. As one who like to see disruption and upsets, I think we have enough information to say that this is not the year that Holy Child or Holton break into the top 4 in the ISL. Could Holy Child compete with Potomac toward the end of the season if they improve? Maybe, but I don't see any other possible wins for the "next two".

And for the Bullis booster, they appear to be slightly improved, but are not going to beat any of those 6 teams.

As for the the ISL A level, some speculated that Sidwell might step up. Then they lost to St. Mary's Ryken. Only remaining potential interesting development I see, is whether NCS can compete. They simply haven't played much lacrosse yet, but should be ready to take the ISL A on paper. If they handle Sidwell tomorrow, then the Holton Arms game next week might be worth watching.

How was this match up?

Holton by 4 (13-9), but you probably knew that. Notable that top tier of ISL A (NCS and Sidwell) are closer to Holton (within 4 goals), than Holton is to the top of the ISL AA (6-11 goals). Seems likely that NCS and Sidwell appear to be as good or better than Bullis and Episcopal. Maybe a Premier league style relegation/promotion would make sense.

Yes Holton by four, but that’s not the whole story. At half it was 8-3 and Holton played a man down for the entire second half. The player who was benched also is Holton’s top player. While just a scrimmage at the beginning of the year, Holton played Sidwell and handled them easily. NCS has a lot of great young talent that will be fun to watch grow over the next few years, and I am confident they will be better and stronger.

There’s a need for a middle division. Maybe. AAA, AA, A. And there should be a shot clock in lower divisions. It does the A teams a disservice to not be playing with one because once they move up to AA they don’t have the style of play needed when using a shot clock.

why was a Holton player benched for the whole second half? is she a D1 commit?

The score was 20-7 in favor of Saints against Bullis. Many reserve players were given playing time, while the key players were substituted out for Saints. Bullis showcases strong talent in their midfield, with one player committws to play lacrosse at Navy I believe.

Yellow cards. Yes, DI

2 yellow cards that weren’t close to being yellow cards.

Its just a fact.

Fact is NCS is a better academic school. The others are not even comparable.

I think Holton is quite comparable academically.

A lot of top tier athletes shy away from NCS. Times have changed. It’s just too much work for the lax girls from the county.

NCS’ 29 lax class is stacked with capital blue. I think 5 cap blue and 1-2 cap orange. Their lacrosse futures look bright for high academics DI-III.

I added 5 + 1 (6) and 5 + 2 (7). So there are approximately 6-7 cap players in the NCS freshman class. There are one to two other competitive clubs as well.

NCS will overtake Holton in 2 years. They don’t have any strength below the junior class save for one or two girls.
