But they only beat Visi by one in OT the week before. Given what people say about Visi, how can that not be the worst play of their season? There are just too many close games for a team so loaded. I just don't see Saints running through both Visi and SR given recent performance on the field.

They have A LOT of players that were/are injured and coming back from injuries/surgeries so the team has never been fully 100%. To be doing as well as they’re doing giving all those injuries among Top players is pretty commendable.

What team doesn’t have an injured player or players coming back from injury?? Some teams prepare for that. Some teams don’t despite having the resources and years to do it.

Exactly. Visi’s top player is playing with injury and they missed three starters at their game against Saints. SR’s senior Princeton commit is out the whole season. Potomac’s top player also nursing injury. All teams played STAB within 1 goal. At this point anything can happen in post season.

Visi’s top player has been playing with an injury for two years during the ISL season. I bet she miraculously is cured for All-America! It will be all of that praying they do at Visi.

Saints and Capital have always been inexorably tied together. Success in one went with the other. Now that Capital is only mediocre club, it is no surprise that SSSA has not won a title in almost 4 years. While they may end up getting one this year, it is pretty clear that both Saints and Capital have waning futures. More and more Maryland girls are opting for other clubs as they have grown tired with the Gussie and Bill arrogant political show. The lower classes at SSSA look fairly bleak as well. Tough reality check day in Alexandria.

I can think the reverse of what you’re saying ---SR and visi only beat Saints by 1 so not some blow out either. If the Saints play sloppy, injuries act up the games will be close BUT if the Saints are on and players with nagging injuires are feeling good/playing well the game will not be close.

Most of their games against decent opponents have been very close, even against lower rated teams like Roland Park, Loyola Academy, STAB, and Visi. They never played anyone really good on purpose. All of a sudden they are going to bust out against SR? I don't see it.

does Holton have a regulation size field?

100% they only lost by one goal and played man down! I’m rooting for SSSA to win it all and I got a kid at a different school!

In ISL AA, where are the lax girls the happiest win or lose? Coaching and culture? Could it be Bullis? I think so!

It is great to win but if your daughter needs therapy because of her coach, teammates, other parents- is it worth it?

Holton. The new coach is amazing as a person and a coach. She really develops them. The team is extremely happy and close.

Again not true. The Saints have played freshman and sophomores just about every game! Stop spreading fake news.

You’ve now added Sophomores.

Against SR, did any Freshman or Sophmores play? How about Visi or Potomac?

I’m glad a couple of them got some time against Episcopal. Crazy mom’s fighting for an anonymous credit for their kids on DCUM are the worst!

That might be true, but the PP said it was an "off day" for Saints, which does not hold up when viewed through the lens of their recent performances (e.g., Visi). I think it's more likely SR had an off day and could whoop up in the final.
