^This. Saying one plays D1 is extremely misleading in women’s lacrosse. There is a huge discrepancy in talent level from top to bottom.

To play on the top 10-20 teams size is important, but it’s really the combination of size, speed, quickness, strength, skills, and game IQ that sets these players apart. I would lean towards size, elite speed and strength at this level to separate players and start building a championship team.

As you move up towards teams in the 20-30, 31-60, and 60+ rankings size is not as much of a factor. The level of play starts to fall off pretty quickly to the point where when you reach the bottom half of D1 the sport is almost unrecognizable compared to the top half. The better D2 and D3 teams will beat the bottom third of D1 and some college club teams will beat the bottom of D1.

So it all goes back to the level of D1. I wish the NCAA would create subdivisions within D1 to better align the teams and talent.
