Ivies do not allow a 5th year so any player with extra year of eligibility must play somewhere else.

Same with Patriot league

Right now there are

84 D1 committed 2027 goalies.
99 D1 committed 2026 goalies.

121 2025 goalies.

You won’t break 80 D1 goalies for 2028 if this 5 for 5 passes as expected.

That's an interesting prediction. The other thing to add is we are entering a period of declining student enrollment due to low birth rates. That could make it worse

I assume you are referring to women’s lacrosse and not men’s?
There are only 77 D1 programs in the men’s side.
