Congrats! I was on the wrong side of this one. Didn't see that coming with four D1 commits on the field for Centreville.
Unfortunately having D1 commits is not the key to success. Playing as a team is. People seem to throw around the D1 name tag like it’s a game changer. Remember there are 120 D1 women’s programs. Once you get past the top 30 teams the level of play and talent drops quickly. I’ve seen teams win state championships with far fewer college commits. What matters is having a solid goalie and 11 field players with solid stick skills who all play well as a team.
Agree. The path to a state title is to play well as a team. Centreville has so much talent but coaches don't know how to use it thus a lot of individual play on the field. This team could easily be #1 and win a state championship. Oakton has some dominant players too but play a very nice team game. Past state champions such as Yorktown and Langley also played team lacrosse and extremely well coached.

Can someone correct me if wrong but their best win was vs Langley and best accomplishments are their 4 all district recipients based on what? Stat pumping vs inferior teams?
winning lax is way more than scoring goals.
Oh. I forgot. The bbq platter.

Congrats to oakton and Madison for moving on, should be a good game on Friday. I’ll take oakton by 3.

You say this, but Centreville still held oakton to their least goals scored all year … id hope Jenkinks could still score if she is playing D1 lax
