NP here and Hopkins alum - everyone I know who went there calls it Hopkins. Really, who wants to say "Johns Hopkins" all the time?

Well, I'm not an alum, so I guess that explains it.

Same holds for 95% of the D1 teams.

Are you serious

So therefore it doesn’t count?

Given how few varsity HS players go on to play D1 soccer, seems like D3 are still quite good. And some may be good enough for D1 but are not willing to trade D1 soccer if it means giving up a top notch school (like Hopkins!). Plus, I'm sure these D3 women still commit to practices, game, training, etc on top of their academics so it's still hard.

Show us how you didn't go to Hopkins without saying you didn't go to Hopkins....

Yes. Lots of D1 programs in many sports in many schools with nobody watching.

Notice no mention of CalTech (the only real exception to athletic recruiting among top schools). [/quote

Hopkins beat case western in the finals

Good for them! I'll have to tell DD - she played travel soccer with a girl on that team.

NP. This must be "Tell me you know nothing about soccer without saying it." The best D3 teams are far better than the best club (ECNL/GA) teams, and are better than 30% of D1 teams. Also, there is no such thing as a "powerhouse rec team."'

D3 women’s soccer is not competitive

Getting a spot playing D3 women's soccer is extremely competitive. Soccer is the most widely played youth sport for girls.

College soccer for women is probably highest below pro
Real talents for men are all at the pro clubs not in colleges
