Look, they went undefeated last year, challenged themselves with a very difficult out of conference schedule, and have won 6 straight. They beat Visi and Milton (which other top DC area teams failed to do).
From my perspective, they remain the top team in the DC area until someone beats them. The only team remaining on their schedule that has a chance to do that appears to be Potomac. It's too bad they don't play SR or SSSAS--or have a WCAC vs ISL Super Bowl, but it seems like they have earned some respect. Potomac game will be a good test.

National level talent which can't even make it to the ISL title game. Battlefield wants next.
It's coaching for one. But also, the local talent from Capital who get recruited to the "top" programs rarely see much playing time. They may be good for this area, but they just don't get to the level of Baltimore, Philly, NY talent.

GC doesn’t look particularly great this year but may have enough to beat SJC. That game could be tight.
GC is hoping to have two of their better offensive players return in a few weeks.
GC has been a lot of “me” ball this season and forcing to goal leading to bad shots being taken and lots of dumb turnovers. Don’t know if it’s girls trying to be the top dog with their top offensive player out injured and their superstar last year now at Northwestern. If they realize that doesn’t win games and need to play smart, they will be a solid team again.

We have hobbies
Apparently the main one is being a smartass for no reason. Maybe you shouldn’t have slept in this morning and went to mass instead…
If anyone went to Mass or church or those who thought about it, hopefully they would think twice before posting negative messages regarding any other programs and more importantly negative messages about the play of sensitive, impressionable young athletes, who whether you think that they read these messages or not, many do. So please stop posting these many tines uniformed and sometimes personal and judgemental posts.

Fair points. Current team is lackluster.
