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.

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?
Since this is the 2030 thread, that comment was meant for 2030 teams. Not the overall club.
