Please Remember as you make your comments:

Only a measly 3% of high school lacrosse players actually make it to play Division 1 in college. Seriously, let that sink in before you start tearing apart a family's choice or a player's decision to attend a particular school!


“You have to remember that everyone is coming from a different spot. Some folks will use the recruiting process to get into the best academic school possible, regardless of the money involved. For others, the main focus is lowering the cost of college as much as possible. Some families are focused on playing for the "best" lacrosse program they can play for. All these decisions are fine as long as they meet the family's needs.
Trying to put your priorities onto other families' choices just doesn't make sense since everyone is coming from a slightly different place.”

#21 Capital Blue- Avg RPI of schools: 30.31, Avg ranking in US News and World Report: 52.83

#1 M&D Black- Avg RPI of schools: 15.15, Avg ranking in US News and World Report: 46.1

***some schools not counted in USNWR rankings, difference in scores would have been even greater. 2 Navy (not counted nationally, a Liberal Arts classification) and 1 Loyola (only regionally ranked) for M&D, and 1 Davidson (Liberal Arts classification) for Cap Blue.

Very interesting.

M&D has some really good kids, including a 5 star, that haven’t committed yet too. I can’t tell from what’s on inside lacrosse, does cap blue have anyone left that is expected to go D1?

NO ONE uses RPI for rankings really. Most use IWLCA poll https://www.iwlca.org/news_article/show/1339864.
Do the stats for that one since RPI is a bit wonky with the algorithm.

I used RPI bc there was a whole argument about it earlier in this thread and these two reasons: the NCAA uses it for the tournament and there is an RPI ranking for each team beyond the top 25. But here you go:

M&D Black IWLCA avg rank: 7.75
Cap Blue IWLCA avg rank: 16.2

So what are we saying? M&D is better and places girls at better schools? We already knew that? They are number 1 for a reason.

Well we knew that based on rankings and results that the m&d girls would play at higher ranked programs, but I remember seeing cap blue parents saying stuff like “our girls focus on high academic schools,” but I was surprised to find that the m&d girls were going to better schools on top of better programs on avg. That was interesting to me.

“NO ONE” uses the “NCAA Women’s Lacrosse RPI” except - let me check my notes THE F-NG NCAA…

FML it’s right in the name.
