Good point. MDU and M&D are in a class of their own.

BLC, Heros Green, Coppermine and Skywalkers sit in the next tier. Anyone of these teams can beat each other on any given day.





Interesting take. I don’t see MDU as in the class of M&D at all. M&D is usually top 1-3 national clubs but isn’t MDU usually somewhere in the top 10 and rarely, if ever, top 3. Whereas you discount Hero’s but they are usually up there in the top 1-3 or worst case top 1-5 overall, right? Agree Coppermine and Skywalkers are not in the same league and are certainly top 20 clubs with individual teams on occasion that are in Top 1-3 (but never the club overall). BLC seems below all of those.

To me, M&D stands alone with 1-2 NY teams. Hero’s right after that. Then MDU. Then Coppermine/Skywalkers. Then way down BLC. In terms of Capital, maybe below Coppermine/Skywalkers? Or similar?

Oh oops! Thanks for clarifying. I get it now.

Top 25 in lacrosse? or Top 25 academics?



I meant in lacrosse. I think there are 4-5 Ivies in the Top 25 currently, so that’s positive. Reality is that it’s just a tiny, tiny percentage of lacrosse players who can get in and whose parents can pay the tuition (and they are good enough for the teams that are pretty competitive). And Capital seems to have those kids.

I watched that skywalker team several times. They need more practice time together and need to clean up unforced mistakes. But they're definitely improved . #4 is probably not correct though.

I've been around lacrosse for three separate age groups. I can't speak to this 30 Skywalker team or the upcoming 30 Capital Team but I can tell you that every coach imaginable has been on Skywalker and Capital 2028's sidelines at the first two tournaments. I suspect this weekend will be more. They've also been at M&D and Heros but for the posters on here saying no one cares about skywalkers anymore or that capital doesn't get girls recruited you're wrong.

Good job Sky Walkers. You got a lot better since last season. Fall is filled with over inflated rankings. This might be one of those cases.

I see these committed list shows many at a lot of these schools! If you can match up a top 25 lacrosse club with top 25 acadmics you have hit the jackpot in my opinion… it helps our entire region that all these clubs have great recruiting and ALL do well so can compete and stand out from the New York York, New Jersey in Philly clubs! If capital is getting girls in top 25 lacrosse programs that are also are top 25 academic programs— if that’s what they’re relying on then sign us up!

Never mind, I misread the order that you had the clubs ranked. Thought it said CM and SW above MDU, clearly it doesn’t.

Exactly. MDU 2030s just won the NGLL national title last spring, and have been in top form this fall too.

Also, I think you need to look at the overall club rankings, you’re off by a bit. MDU ranked higher than CM and SW last year in overall club rankings.

I would say Capital tends to really get players into high academic schools.

Also at 2027, not close to talent level HG & M&D has yet managed to have nice recruiting class imo.

Capital is connected and that is what you want.
