Skywalker's has been a high school powerhouse but they have a problem. With teams like Coppermine emerging for younger years, the older girls that used to go to Skywalkers are more likely to stay in house. Crush 28's are staying. I don't see the core Cop 28 girls leaving. In other words, the feeder clubs that went to Skywalkers will be holding on to their talent. |
Interesting question. For what it’s worth, Tufts did beat a team on this list (Dartmouth) easily two years ago and the difference in level of play btw NESCAC and even the most elite teams on this early commit list is a lot closer than D1 v D3 in every other sport. Just sayin |
SW has always been open to adding talent from outside the area. |
So SW 2027 basically replaced 18/21 girls over the last two years. They grabbed some BLC girls, some top B club girls (CCLax/Integrity) some M&D girls who maybe wanted more PT, and backfilled with out of state kids as well. |
Just an observation on the top NESCAC programs. Look, Middlebury is an outstanding program, and could legitimately compete against the lower echelon in several D1 leagues. They are not close to ACC, Big Ten, etc. however, and would be beaten soundly by reserve units. That said, PP's point on the relative competitiveness in women's lacrosse is accurate: the Middlebury girls lacrosse team would be much more competitive against Northwestern and UNC, than their Football team would be against Georgia or Ohio State, for example. That said, there is still a big gap. Part of the issue is that the NESCAC schools handicap themselves on recruiting. Amherst, for example, holds their first prospect camp for 26s two months after the top 2026 recruits have received D1 offers, and a second one in June. Part of this is understandable given their high academic standards and requirements for a pre-read. That said, Yale has 8 recruits committed from this class already, and the Ivies are well into this process. If a player has an offer from a Dartmouth or Cornell in hand, why would they wait for a NESCAC dialogue much later--unless they are committed to the small liberal arts college model, are a legacy at a specific school, etc. My sense is that beyond Middlebury and Tufts, and maybe a few other programs, the NESCAC, and schools like Pomona or F&M will continue to get the strong academic players who don't get top 25 or Ivy League offers. They play good lacrosse, and the combined academic and athletic offering is outstanding, but they are legitimately in a different (lower) division. |
Well said. If NESCAC’s were able to recruit and commit players as early as D1 programs they’d probably do very well. Like PP said, the difference between D1 and D3 lax isn’t as vast as football. Plus, when you factor in that D1 and D3 lax aren’t really different when it comes to $$ - there really isn’t any unless your family qualifies for it- and 99% of all lax players are done after 4 years and looking for jobs, then going to the best school over the “D1 or bust” approach seems like a much smarter path for most of our daughters. |
| Any MC Elite commits? I know they have one going to Denver this year as a freshman so just am curious. |
|
Pride Black NOVA Loudon 2026 os the correct Pride team to use for this list
USCLUB Lax Rank #72 1 SCAD (BI) *goalie* |
Exactly - it can be hard on the girls to turn down a D1 offer and difficult for parents to remind the girls that this D1 or bust mentality is not the right decision for all. Keep that in mind as people wonder why they haven't seen xyz commits from xyz teams. Still a long way to go |

But there is a difference in athletic scholarship availability so the comment about $$ is not accurate unless you are talking about D1 Ivies. My daughter will have 1/2 of her D1 private school total bill paid for with a lacrosse scholarship. |
WOW

27 SW started rough but seems to have gotten better. Rumor is the Hero’s and M&D girls that didn’t get as much playing time moved there the last couple of years. They will be behind Capital but still will be pretty good. |
| Just looking at the impressive Capital commits - do the private school kids always do this well? Are there any public school kids on the CB ‘26 team? I am new to all of this so sorry if it has already been discussed. |
