[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Difficult to say, since women’s soccer is not a pathway to become a professional outside of membership to the national teams.  NWSL wouldn’t be solvent if not for USSF subsidizing it.

So, do ECNL programs lead Div 1 commitments?  Absolutely, but most of those commitments didn’t come up through the program.  See how many MYS U18 players were with MYS before U15 even.  The women’s game is different, thus, different perspective from its players.  Would a talented player rather go to James Madison (Div 1) or John’s Hopkins (Div 3), and does that mean one is more elite than the other?

Bottom line: women’s soccer is different, this, its measure of success is different.[/quote]

This, I'd much rather my daughter go to a rigorous DIII school than play DI soccer for a directional state school [/quote]

+1000 or not even play at all because many of the players stop playing after a year or two. Internships, traveling abroad, etc. start to get in the way of practice.  [/quote]
