Great news for SR!

All will play out as SR plays SSSAS and SSSAS plays Visi

Would be nice for the girls to have an All-DC tournament like the boys

They do. There is a ISL tournament for both the A and AA divisions every year.

There isn't one this year

McD had its fair share of cards too. Rough game but SR proved its a phenomenal team hanging that tight (and beating at times) with McD.

With no shot clock and up at one point 5 goals, how does SR manage to lose this match?

No ISL tournament, and its reasonable to anticipate that there will be postponements and cancelations due to COVID that will impact schedules too. Don't get your hopes up for anything definitive about this spring. Just be happy they're on the field at all.

Because McD is a perennial number one team nationally, coached by a former player considered by many to be the best to ever play the game on the women’s side, and both know well how to stage a late game come-back. The experience of being consistently number 1 brings huge advantages - and the mental side is often more important than anything else.

Isn’t McDonogh out of its long winning streak and not quite as dominant? I don’t think the team today is the same or even in the same category as the team that CR coached with TC playing.

Not even close to being correct. Sorry.

And probably no advantage to playing McD at McD with McD paid refs

You really don't follow girls high school lax, do you? McDonough lost 1 game, 2 years ago - to Notre Dame Prep. They haven't lost a full-field game since so, yes, they are just as dominant as they were when Taylor was a player and Chris coached.

The fact that Stone Ridge, a team I have zero affliation with, did so well against them is undeniably impressive. The fact that McDonough managed to come from behind and win in OT does not negate the Stone Ridge girls' accomplishment at all.

Stone Ridge
St Pauls School for Girls
McDonogh
Georgetown Visitation
Notre Dame Prep
Glenelg Country
St. Stephens
Bishop Ireton
Bullis
Madison High School

Any takers?

Bullis girls lacrosse doesn't belong on this list. I don't think they scored a single goal against Stone Ridge last week. Even the JV looked lackluster.
