As a 2028 parent watching the returns come in here, I can’t imagine how blessed I would feel seeing my daughter commit to playing lacrosse at her dream school. Still, having someone think or say that I have a “lovely family” would be better.

Capital Blue to Dartmouth (Holton)

Skywalkers to San Diego state

Make that five T25 schools! Huzzah!

From things I have been reading in some recruiting groups, the girls who seem to be having the most difficulty are not from highly ranked clubs. With that in mind, capital will still be fine for the foreseeable future. The 27s and 28s may not have the quite the success of cap teams in the past, but if the teams continue to remain in the top 25, the majority of girls will continue to commit to D1 programs. The other thing they have in their favor is that many of their girls do not need scholarship money. So if they are strong academically and not costing the university money, they are even more of an attractive candidate. I wouldn’t rely solely on my club to do the work regardless of who my daughter played for, so if your daughter is willing to put in the work and plays for capital blue, I am sure she will find a spot.

There could be a million reasons. This is a very long process. If you would like to truly get in the weeds about this you can join the Facebook group "Recruiting Discussion: Parent-to-Parent Women’s College Lacrosse"

Some girls may be waiting for NESCACs or D3s which don't offer until later

They don’t “offer later,” with few exceptions they take kids that didn’t get the D1 offer they wanted. Almost no one chooses Middlebury over Yale, they end up there after Yale passes.

yes most want to go D1 but then the
Just not true. There kids who specially want D3.

Yeah, hence the “few exceptions” part, but most kids want to go D1. Do you not agree? Sure, some are legacy kids who are going to Tufts regardless, but that is an exception.

A lot of them start out wanting to go D1 but when they don't get the school they want if they truly want to plan in college they reevaluate and start looking D3.

D3 is attractive if you want to go pre-med, engineering, lawyer etc. Most D1 players can’t pursue those majors due to time constraints. A lot of business and communication majors.

Middlebury can honestly beat well over 25% - maybe more of D1 schools

The 75th percentile team was Detroit Mercy last year. Middlebury would obliterate Detroit Mercy.

Did someone local commit to Middlebury or Detroit Mercy today?

Well done girls.

Same!!!
