GC's non-conference schedule is impressive - St. Mary's, SR, SPSG, Spalding, NDP, Visi, Severna Park, Milton, Marriots Ridge, & Sacred Heart Greenwich. Spring Fling too.

I don't know who she is but hoping she has a speedy recovery.

They are a direct result because women are anatomically, biomechanically, neuromuscularly and hormonally different than men.

"Anterior cruciate ligament injury rates are four to eight times higher in women than in men." That's incredible.

It really does seem to be happening too often. Female athletes who jump/cut/pivot are apparently way more likely to experience ACL tears than their male counterparts. Interestingly, the higher risk is due to a combination of hormonal, anatomical, and biomechanical differences. Despite this, training and conditioning can help reduce the risk.
(Google AI Overview says the following)
Key factors for the higher rate in girls include:
- Anatomical Differences: Women often have a smaller notch in the femur where the ACL attaches and are more "knock-kneed" (wider hips).
- Biomechanical Factors: Female athletes are more likely to land from a jump with their knees straight or in a "collapsing" inward position (valgus).
- Hormonal Influences: Higher levels of estrogen can increase the elasticity of ligaments, making them less stable.
- Muscle Development: Girls are often "quad-dominant," placing more stress on the ACL, and often have less hamstring strength to protect the knee.
In short, knees weren’t meant to move laterally or twist. To be a good dodger, the side to side is a must. I feel it’s happening a lot more often due to the newer movements being taught in girls lacrosse.
Seems girls are built different than boys. crazy lol

Check out the connection between ACL injuries and women on their periods.
