When does ISL generally post team?

Thank you for this. This actually says a lot compared to last year. Some awesome players, but the depth isn't there across the conference.

2 or 3 of the absent Cadets would have been on this list if not for their injuries

SR will have the largest returning squad in recent history as they are only losing two seniors who played. Potomac is also returning most starters plus reloading with some good 2030s. Saints will be a close 3rd. While they are graduating a ton of seniors they have a deep bench and will likely call upon transfer portal again. Visi is graduating their top player and a few other very good 2026s. Their younger squad didn’t show much threat this year so they will be the weakest in the top 4.

I've heard that several teams are claiming they'll have a solid group of 2030s, though not all of them can be right. Potomac does have some strong returning players, but I wouldn't rank them second. My top four would be: 1) SR, 2) SSSAS, 3) Visi, 4) Potomac. The rest of the list seems accurate.

I agree with that. I don't think Potomac should be considered the presumptive #2 if they're relying on "reloading with some good 2030s." That seems overly optimistic.

Except out of their 6 seniors, only two were huge contributors. Two are soccer stars and just play lacrosse at Potomac, etc, so I wouldn’t rule out Potomac to at least be top 3. They’re getting the top ‘30 goalie, so they’ll continue to have a strong goalie pipeline, too.

Their MS team isn’t great. Are they getting lots of new ‘30s?

Top ‘30 goalie in the nation? What club team?

Odd Paul VI had no players on the first team yet they came in second in the league and went to the finals?

This is a fair point, and I'm no PVI partisan. I have no problem with GC having a full 1/3 of all 1st and 2nd team selections (11/33), nor SJC, BI, and SMR getting 4-5 each. But I don't understand how PVI, which beat all three of the teams at the 4-5 level, only has 2 2nd-team selections. AHC has more?! You could say that PVI had more of a team effort and fewer standouts--that is possible--but seems a bit out of whack here. PVI probably should have 1-2 1st teamers and 2-3 2nd teamers.

NCS is Co-Champions somehow and also ended up in 2nd place. Watch out SJC!!!

With the collapse of the Post’s sports oage, will there still be All Met selections?

[Anonymous]

It's unlikely that anyone from the WCAC or ISL could reasonably judge how well anyone played throughout the whole season. While coaches may know how their own players did, they generally only see opposing players once and can't fully assess them. So, how are these lists actually compiled?

I think your analysis is spot on. they have a few very good players and then alot of role players that do their job but not standouts
