You can be winning by a single goal for it to work so I don’t really think that’s the zinger you intended it to be. Being up by a goal and stalling for 20 minutes to win (which I have seen M and D do) is fine but it’s just not very sportsmanlike- to the point that the times I’ve seen it happen the kids don’t even celebrate the ‘win.’

What’s funny: M&D parents are the first to complain about stalling when higher ranked YJ does it to them.

If you’d like, I’m sure the 31 mnd team would gladly not stall when they’re already up 14-2 on blc but then you’d complain about them running up the score. Every team will stall when they’re already are up. If you’d don’t like it there are two options. Go pressure the ball or sit back.

The third option is complaining

Complaining by parents will happen regardless of any stalling. Stalling is a technique taught to kids regardless of age.

Several girls have gotten invites. They just aren't posting about it. Just a hunch but probably most the invites for the top clubs are out. BIC tries to have girls from other clubs to show equal representation.

You have to ‘make a reasonable effort to score’ - that exactly is the rule.

Anonymous wrote:M&D finally has MDU's number on scoring than stalling for significant amounts of time and wasting clock by walking as slow as possible to the draw circle and moving girls on and off the circle right as the draw is set. The refs pinged them for it twice sunday. It's terrible for coaches to have these girls stalling for 5-6-8-10 minutes at a time. They'll be in high school next year. Just play the way they'll play in the future. M&D has beaten MDU everytime they've played now since last NGLL playoff.

MDU wasn't stalling, there was confusion about what players were on the circle, as they are always moving them around, not just having middies do it. Why would a team intentionally do this? The refs determine when the draw starts.

Stalling when you have a lead in a playoff game is just smart lacrosse. YJ, M&D, MDU, HG all do this. To go to goal with the lead in a playoff game is moronic.

M&D is 3-1 against MDU since MDU won NGLL, both two of those games were by 1 goal. No one has anyone's number, its two great teams battling back and forth.
