It's not possible you could be more wrong if you were trying, and it seems like you are.
Here's just one Ivy, Penn, who happened to be one of if not the best:
top 4 scorers:
Hereford HS
Parkside HS (it's in Maryland, Salisbury area)
Bronxville HS (public in Westchester Cty, NY)
Langley
Then 5 was GC

6 and 7
Bedford HS (public in NH)
Montclair Kimberly (not a great NJ school)


Defense?
Moses Brown in Rhode Island
Sacred Heart Greenwich (mediocre in CT)
Honeoye Falls Lima (small public in Sec 5)
Sayville HS (not a top HS on LI)

Goalie?
Montclair Kimberly again

Someone has been feeding you a lot of hogwash or reefer. You need to be a good player. That's what gets girls there. You guys all think you're looking at a cart in front of you, so it must've gotten there by itself because there's no horse around. The lengths that you all go to give credit to clubs, and competition and yada rather than your own daughters is cringeworthy. But I guess it makes all the grown ups feel better about their choices.


Not sure about anything else but having a daughter playing at a top NE prep school you're assessment of Sacred Heart Greenwich is wrong. They're always a top team in New England playing other top teams. These girls play Prime Time etc for clubs and are super athletic multi-sport athletes that play big girls lacrosse on a team full of top D1 and D3 schools,
Noted. Sayville is also good.

Sure, tool. I know nothing about Penn, but did enjoy the response.


As someone who has been through this, you can plan and predict all you want but it's hard to know what your daughter's recruiting class will look like and what the competition is from elsewhere and how it all plays out. There are lost of road blocks and surprises - even for girls who are considered some of the best in the DMV. For the vast majority, recruiting can be a somewhat humbling experience.

Look, top HS competition can help a player be ready for club and more ready for college play. No one disputes that. I would also not dispute that having a well-connected high school coach can help with recruiting. That point has been discussed ad nauseam with KJ/SSSAS, and quite a bit with SR, and more now with SJC.

What I would dispute is that anybody would send their daughter to NCS or Sidwell as a lacrosse recruiting play. Two of the finest academic schools in the region, and two of the most expensive. You can get recruited from club, and have an unbelievable and rigorous academic experience. These things are not mutually exclusive.

You can’t possibly be serious. A sidwell student on capital is going to an ivy this fall. Your HS team doesn’t matter relative to your club. HS victories are for coaches egos not recruiting.

So true! I saw Amherst, University of Chicago, Tufts, Columbia, UVA among others! it is remarkable and so proud of all these past and current D1 players. I am so thankful we have a program like this available in our area.
