Acacia was 28 when she got BC and Kelly was 26 when she got Northwestern... they seem to have done alright. Remind me again why people are concerned about Kayla’s age?
As a club director, I TRULY appreciate the coaches that are able to be up front and transparent about recruits. These kids would much rather get a straight up "no" than being strung along or even worse ghosted after multiple conversations.
To the girls that have now been forced to give up their senior day and last time ever playing in the dome, thank you for everything you’ve done for the program. You are far from finished. 💙🧡

@NCAALAX
grants all of these players with another year of eligibility regardless of scholarship % with future classes. Give these players some good news. It’s hard enough that they’ll have to wait an entire year to compete again. My heart breaks for these seniors.
If you wanted to catch all of the NCAA WLax Quarterfinals last year, you needed many many screens due to time crossover.
This year, the games are staggered and to be broadcasted on ESPN Networks.
Feeling like this is a big win and a big step forward ! 👏🏼
(1/2) 12 years ago today I tore my ACL in a high school game. My senior year season ended abruptly and my future at Syracuse became uncertain. Every year my heart goes out to kids going through the same experience... but nothing is better than watching players bounce back even
Lax Community- gossip is inevitable with a major change. But keep in mind that this is effecting several players' lives. Consider the feelings of the players you loved to watch perform all spring long before you make assumptions/spread unconfirmed rumors about their futures.
If we are concerned about teaching kids to not speak the way Gaudet did, then it should also be made JUST as clear that the two cross checks to the head that Epple just had is also not something kids should want to emulate on the field.
@PremierLacrosse
Of all my least favorite rules in WLAX I think the very top is that the clock continues to run under a minute.
If a ref is setting up a foul or a player has to go chase the ball, why the heck are we not stopping the clock. It is ABSURD to me.
I’m a very proud
@CuseWLAX
alum. Not the result wanted, but still one heck of a season.
Anyone saying that the year was a disappointment clearly has no idea just how hard it is to win.
There’s a hell of a lot to be proud of.
Onward! 📈🍊💙

Major plot twist to those who have thought the 11 meter arc is bigger than the 8-meter this World Cup.
It's the same size.
What's different than NCAA field linings? Where they're measuring from... because why not throw a lil curveball lol ⬇️ NCAA vs. International
I'm jumping the gun... but after seeing the energy of the Final Four at Homewood, I'm a little concerned about how not drivable next year's Final Four in Cary, NC is. An 8+ hour drive from the Northeast is much different than a site as central as Baltimore.
Baby holds rattle in left hand...
Please excuse me while I try to tell myself that this does not mean she will be a future lefty laxer... or does it? 😏
the games are TOMORROW!.. FINALLY!! Finally, we will get to stream all of the games on every device in the house because they're still inconveniently all on at practically the same exact time!
@ILWomen
Everyone make sure you have a good dinner, hydrate, and get a good night rest tonight.. there’s a lot of lacrosse on tomorrow that we need to be ready for!!!!

It goes so far beyond the games and points. The family is unlike any other 🍊💙
It sure has been fun to watch this ‘23 squad though!

The 🍊 first win against No. 1 was against Florida in the 2012 NCAA Tournament semifinals in OT. 'Cuse overcame a seven-goal second-half deficit to advance to the national title game for the first time.

So many women don’t have this luxury, so counting all of my blessings today with these two at the top of the list🩵
Getting bumped in the back and grabbing your head to fake a foul is a big part of what’s wrong with women’s lacrosse.
So frustrating and ridiculous to watch as a viewer and I HATE to imagine the wheels turning in little girls’ heads watching on how they can add it to their game
was just thinking about PC (pre-covid) lax coverage and remembering Carc giving the mens players haircuts. Would love to start something up on the girls side when we're back in person! Here's an example of my skills... current players, let me know if you're interested!!
Officially deciding I’m not a fan of the green card situation and that I really miss the ride. 🙅🏻♀️🙅🏻♀️🙅🏻♀️🙅🏻♀️
I know we have to clean up physicality… but like, can we try again with something else?
Ortega gets fouled HARD every game. She never reacts, she puts the ball in the back of the net and hits them where it hurts .. the scoreboard! Younger players take notes!!! 📝

Alyssa Murray: My Preseason Top 10
Doing the right thing isn’t always the easy thing. I’m proud of the SU captains and their leadership in this horrendous situation. The Yeardley Love tragedy will forever leave a mark on the lacrosse community, and we must anything in our power to prevent it from happening again.
Nothing grinds my gears more than watching parents of players try to skate around rules as if they don’t apply to them or their child—thus teaching their child that they don’t need to listen to anything. Want to know how that will work out at the next level????? IT WONT!!! 🤪🤪

A green card issued after a Princeton player got her goggles knocked off and she didn't stop playing. Penalty was for playing without goggles but nothing for what knocked them off in the first place.

@SunDevilWLax
— put together a terrific end of season run including a win against Big Ten runner up and making it to PAC-12 finals. I thought they went from a bubble team to a shoe in over the last week. They should be proud!
Another note for youth players is to watch how hard UNC rides. As an attacker your job is not done until the ball is over the far restraining line. You get to rest while your team continues to grind. NO ONE LIKES A LAZY ATTACKER!
Hot take which may not even be that hot... IMO there should be no difference between NCAA and International rules.
Georgia Latch literally just had a goal taken away for shooting space that would've been a college continuation goal.
(2/2) better post surgery after having fought through the mental and physical battle that season ending injuries bring. To all that are going through this right now, hang in there... you will be back !

@ILWomen
Still baffled that I just coached a game where my team got a YC because a player on the other team missed a pass and the ball hit her in the face. All while SU’s Kerry Defliese got drilled with a follow through last night and no call. Poor defenders can’t do anything right !
Amid the team’s recent encounter with the Liberty County Sherrif’s Office in Georgia, we would like to thank everyone for sending their help, thoughts, and great support. The DSUWLAX family is very appreciative to be safe and raise attention to this social issue. ❤️💙
I truly hope that this leads to conversation between men's and women's sides. This is not a WLAX problem is a LAX problem. Would love for more men's lax affiliates to chime in and give some input on this. The disparity is so stark it's hard to see.
Phase II of the NCAA gender equity review details the disparity in men’s and women’s lacrosse championship athlete experience and spending — and states that gap in DII/DIII lacrosse is particular stark

Can we not have the WDI and WDIII National Championships running at the SAME TIME!?
How is that something that we're doing in 2023.
I'm sure I'll have more logical questions to come as my brain unwinds from a crazy season. Stay tuned!
