| DC express drops big time after their 2021 team. The 2022 team is just OK. 2023 TBD |
| Well let’s see how 2022 does over the next 2 months. Last year DCE was best team in DMV and arguably 2nd best team in Mid Atlantic behind Hawks (who they beat in DE). So not sure what you definition of “just ok” is. |
| DCE up 8-0 after 1Q |
| DCE up on Madlax 10-2 at half |
| Where r u “just ok”? |
| ML DC Dogs won big over NL 2023 |
|
Next Level is terrible. Their club teams are bottom of the barrel.
NL 2023 lost 4-14 to 2023 DC Dogs NL 2021 Lost 5-11 to Madlax Capital 2021 |
Any thoughtful commentary other than score that makes you write this? |
| I think DCE 2021 would have handled ML 2021 but the DC Dogs 2023 team would have won v any other DMV team. |
No need to, scores tell it all. |
Not if you understand lacrosse or sports in general. |
A dominant or missing fogo/goalie, etc makes a difference on the game score but either team could have played well or poorly. I will check out game film online if it's available. |

It's online - streamed live and can still be watched on Youtube at Madlax. Games listed under Friendly Fireworks 2023, 2022, 2021.
All players listed in roster under description. Not aware of many missing key players. It's a pandemic, so not many people are traveling during a scheduled game. 2023 DC Dogs are #1 in the nation, so they would be expected to dominate anyone they play (especially Next Level 2023, which is not a great team comparatively #16) and they did. Next Level's best player won many of the face-offs and the team still got trounced - so that blows your previous post out of the water. Their best player also looked a little out of shape and was no match for the majority of DC Dog players. It's like comparing apples and oranges. And no, I don't have a player on the team, so not biased. 2022 DCE dominated Madlax Capital 2022 pretty easily from the beginning and never stopped. This makes sense, again, because DCE is ranked #9 nationally and Madlax #16 nationally. DCE is just the better team. Did not watch 2021s. |
| DCE should be ranked higher but will tomorrow’s game against Hawks should be a good test. |
| DCE 2022 definitely need to be ranked higher. They beat the #2 ranked Hawks 17-13. |
