This is just the beginning for many players, and we have all year as players pursue D1/D2/ D3 offers into summer 2025. I imagine some may be looking at NESCAC schools... All these players will find their fit as they adjust their expectations, make visits and interact with coaches. There are players that only want to play D3 and not do D1.

New England Small College Athletic Conference Colleges (NESCAC): The Little Ivies

The 11 NESCAC schools:

Amherst College, Bates College, Bowdoin College, Colby College, Connecticut College, Hamilton College, Middlebury College, Trinity College, Tufts University, Wesleyan

The top NESCAC programs, especially Middlebury and Tufts, would beat a majority of D1 teams

Which teams on the 2026 commitments list on this page do you think they would beat?

I am not PP but this commitment list is elite. When PP stated majority of D1 she likely meant the other 100+ D1 schools

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

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.

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.

And why is TLC being included? Noone ever mentions that club around here.

I noticed the past few years not nearly as much hype around Skywalkers. It used to be the big three M&D, Heros and Skywalkers and lately all I hear about is M&D and Heros. Maybe it is just the years? Maybe 27 is a stronger year?

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.

The better players opt for private schools. The leagues are better among other things.

Yeah, Black is killing it, but to be expected. They've got the #2 team, and even that doesn't do it justice for those behind them.

I don't understand how it seems all the good players can afford private school. Most good players are rich? Or are they on scholarship?

Not much scholarship money for high school girls lacrosse. Some people are wealthy, some see it as investment into their kids future and make it work.

Wealthier parents can afford club and private training from a younger age. These same parents can afford and tend to opt for private schools. Some are in privates from the start and have competitive interscholastic lacrosse starting in 5th grade (or earlier).

Does anyone know if the Cap Blue team at ‘26 is all private school?

Check out their roster for yourself. It’s all online.

Oh my lord, get over it already. All the whining about “if only Pride kept its players” and Capital “taking talent developed by others” is soooo done. Pride didn’t make the transition to a good hs program and likely never will. KMG couldn’t make it happen. No smart player or family is going to stay if they can make Capital.

Capital has long been successful at leveraging other clubs developed talent. Thats literally the model - why should we all be sooooo done? And weird that you try to argue against it. They've been successful at it. Also lots of great commits from the last several years from teams outside of Capital. And KMG has produced players.
