[quote=Anonymous]Neutral observer here who has been around lacrosse for several decades and had a son graduate from an IAC school and play in the Ivy League.

Based on what I saw in person on Thursday, this is by far the best Georgetown Prep team I have seen play in well over 10 years. Big, athletic, and showed a ton of discipline. The Hoyas controlled the temp of the entire game from start to finish.

Landon has very solid squad this Spring. Preps overall athleticism simply just took over the game. Prep has some serious horses in the midfield, #10 and #16 are as good as I have seen in a very long time. Both are throw back middies who play offense and defense. Truthfully I didn't notice GP's attack as much as 90% of Prep's offense was generated from their middies. #28 for GP, who I heard is only a sophomore is a big time pole. The kid just creates transition and even offense. I haven't seen a LSM of his caliber at the HS level in a long time.

A previous poster pointed this out but GP has a mini home field advantage by playing on their rugby field which has a huge ridge (reminds me of an old school football field from the 90s) I see (Prep is undergoing massive construction project: new dorm / football stadium hence they have been playing on grass all Spring) I suspect most privates in this area all practice on turf these days.

I don't think the Bullis - GP game will be that close on Tuesday. Yes, Bulldogs provided GP their only defeat in league play it was 5 weeks ago and it was the first game of the season. Since that game, GP has dominated IAC league play.  It's also going to be HOT out on Tuesday, and Bullis has limited depth this year. I've seen Bullis play Landon twice this year and both teams are fairly even. (don't tell me one is truly better than the other when they split the series and both game were very close) Bullis doesn't face-off particularly well so expect the Hoyas not only to dominate offensive possession but to dictate the pace of the game.

I fully expect GP to win by 5 goals on Tuesday and the Lil Hoyas will bring home their first outright IAC tournament title since 2014.

As for the SJC - GP debate. Hopefully these two teams play one another over Memorial Day weekend.  I haven't seen SJC play in person this Spring but the WCAC seems to be quite down this year. PVI plays Episcopal in the VISSA finals today which will give us a good barometer of the WCAC vs IAC this year.
