GC was ranked higher by USA Lacrosse and Laxnumbers. Just reporting the facts.


They were not ranked higher by USA lacrosse. SHG was #6 and GC #12 as of this week.

We have different definitions of facts when I can go to the USA lacrose instagram and see you are wrong.

GC is the best in the DMV. If they are getting stomped, every team is in trouble.

GC and Sacred Heart were tied at the half 4-4. Sacred Heart won almost every draw then would score. Went on a scoring run the second half. They are a great team. Crisp passes. Their coach plays ref during the game which was obnoxious.

Name another top AA ISL team starting 4 freshman. That’s the growth formula: prepping and growing young talent not handing out some fake charity playing time.


No she doesn’t put that much thought or effort into her coaching. The freshman start just because they are better than the upperclassmen. They are not coached by her one bit.



Or because some were loyal to her M&D DC venture. Will be interesting to see how that turns out come recruiting time!



+1. M&D DC kids clearly getting preferential treatment.


Oh 100% this. And she’s not the only coach like this at SR.

What are they? Their academics are a joke!


Interesting comment. SR has commits going to Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Dartmouth. 3 players at Notre Dame. 1 at UVA and 1 committed there as well. Another one at Amherst. Some pretty good schools.


Exactly. Non athletes are not getting into those schools from Stone Ridge. They get in from NCS, Holton, Potomac. Nice try!



There is literally a non-athlete freshman at Harvard this year, lots at ND and admitted this year (non athletes) and plenty at UVA. Non-athlete to Princeton last few years, and Dartmouth. Don’t think Amherst tends to be a popular pick from SR. As with the national trend, a lot of top kids are focused on other non ivy schools now also.

A girl can take a very rigorous class load there and - maybe you aren’t at the college stage yet - but lots of other factors go in. The top 1/3 of the class is pretty academic. But agree NCS and maybe Holton (but less so than used to be honestly) are overall more academic.

But the school likes those high academic athlete recruits, even though those kids are not the top students, to have associated with the school and lacrosse program. If school thinks families are coming to the school for the coach they’re not going to do anything. Even if for many who choose to attend, there is a bait and switch - on the lacrosse front. Most other sports are fun and normal there and some talented players have simply walked away from lacrosse based on coach’s behavior and principle. Others hung on kindof delusional that it would help them in recruiting, which wasn’t going to happen anyway or because they think it is somehow a badge of honor to be part of the team and never see the field. Don’t get it but to each their own.

NCS and Holton have equal matriculation(honestly)

Holton has a few really great players and were able to put up a fight against a deeper Potomac team. Both teams played hard and the stronger team won.
