2028 Girls Lacrosse

[Anonymous]

I believe it’s just one more Cap Blue 25 player to FL (2 total). Still, the stats are incredible. Capital has sent twice the number of players to top 20 programs and to ivies over the past three years compared to Hero’s (26 v 13; 8 v 4, respectively). That is stunning, especially considering Hero’s outranked Capital in 2023 and 2024 (8 v 15; 11 v 15, respectively).

That’s why I asked the original question. So I think one can conclude Capital has the best recruiting in the area and possibly the country considering where their players end up.

Great summary DG. Thank you. Hero's and M&D also have fantastic recruiting results to be proud of. I assume Skywalkers also does very well. I was a little surprised to see that Capital generally had slightly higher T20 and Ivy numbers with generally lower ranked teams. Can someone explain to me the most likely reason for the disconnect? Is it simply more dedicated recruiting resources and effort at Capital? Or is it something about the girls unrelated to lacrosse, perhaps academic profile that opens different doors?

One big stat everyone overlooks and that is not published is the amount of money girls get to attend the school. If you can afford the full cost, schools are much more willing to add you to the roster. A roster full of commits, with no scholarship money is a deceiving stat for those who can’t afford $50,000 a year in tuition. Not many of the capital girls are getting a lot of money. Ivies don’t give any money, so that is more about deep pockets than lacrosse ability.

LMAO. Top 20 schools aren't just lopping people on to the roster. The Ivies are only going to be able to give admissions help to the number of recruits that make the roster. As close to 100% are going to need that help. That's the team they get, Ivy coaches aren't bringing in players because they can pay tuition. That's 1-2,000 pop D3 schools or lower D1.
Thanks for the laugh.

Last year 5 ivies ranked in the top 30. Two were top 10. Those programs aren’t achieving that kind of success by taking just anyone. The fact the majority of Ivy programs are doing this well by not giving any scholarship money is noteworthy.

It does not seem there would be any upside in doing this.

No need for a breakdown, everyone is ELITE

Biggest difference in lacrosse and say for this argument basketball is that the best of the best players want to go Ivy whereas in other sports that is not necessarily the case.

Disagree. With rosters around 38, the bottom half (19 girls) are likely there because their parents are paying full sticker price (many D.C. parents can afford to do this). They only had 12 scholarships to give out before this new ruling. Additionally, that bottom half likely has very good grades to keep the team GPA up. The top 19 are the real players. The rest are practice players with good grades and/or wealthy parents. Perfect profile for D.C. kids.

In the DC / MD / VA region, over the past three years:

* Capital Blue has sent 25 players to top 20 programs and 8 to ivies

* M&D Black has sent 18 players to top 20 programs and 2 to ivies

* Hero’s Green has sent 13 players to top 20 programs and 4 to ivies

* Coppermine has sent 0 players to top 20 programs and 0 players to ivies

Some players overlap both categories. Stats above and raw data (below) taken from what's available on Inside Lacrosse. Commits to ivies and top 20 programs were highlighted since players either choose strong academics or strong lacrosse schools. (Obviously there are many great academics represented; to avoid subjective interpretation of a strong academic school I differentiated top 20 v ivies only.)

Disclaimer said all info was taken from Inside Lacrosse, jacka*s. The fact your club doesn’t update that site - the encyclopedia for the sport - isn’t my problem.
