Army started their WLAX program in 2016. They are ranked 16th this week after an upset victory over number 9 Rutgers.

It doesn't help having that little military commitment. Seems like Boston U Men's Lacrosse and Army Women's Lacrosse zoomed right past the Crusaders when starting new programs. |

Seems like Boston U Men's Lacrosse and Army Women's Lacrosse zoomed right past the Crusaders when starting new programs. Boston U had the benefit of having 12.6 more scholarships than HC did at the time. As for the military commitment, that is a recruitig disadvantage in some cases, but the Service Academies have more advantages than disadvantages: 1. All students receive a monthly paycheck. 2. Guaranteed job at graduation for all. 3. Ability to bring in at least twice as many recruits as other schools. 4. Full scholarship for everyone. (In lacrosse, the average player gets less than 1/3 of an athletic scholarship at other schools.) 5. Huge emphasis in the admissions process for very good athletes. 6. Service commitment does not apply to student-athletes who have the opportunity to go pro. 7. Athlete can leave after two years with no commitment. Thus they get the benefit of two free years of education. This is a big deal not only if they simply don't like Academy, but also if they improve a lot athletically and can earn a scholarship at another D1 school. |

There is no real pro league for Women's Lax.... |

Our ladies tried to imitate our men's performance (vs. Dartmouth when down 12-0) against Quinnipiac today - Q scored the first 11 goals of the game enroute to 3 qtrs of garbage time and a 15-8 win
and they're not a very good team.
We're not ready for PL play which is a much higher level - Coach Belichick's results are predictable

Ladies lost to previously winless Harvard today 15-12 - seems we played much better after the poor showing vs. Q

I checked out the game stats … goholycross.com/sports/womens-lacrosse/stats/2023/harvard/boxscore/10328 … not going to win many games with 21 Turnovers, 37 fouls, 15 shots on goal and 10 Draw Controls… the game score is more likely attributable to a weaker Harvard team than better play. Another season trending toward 5 or 6 wins after scheduling down replacing Brown with StoneHill (a 1st year program) and avoiding BC, Dartmouth, Yale, New Hampshire, Vermont, Siena and other higher level area teams. Current staff’s historic 33% winning percent over 7+ seasons should be of concern. goholycross.com/documents/2022/3/3/coach-misc.pdf |

I know AWP is good but this score is an embarrassment- both the men’s and women’s teams surrendered 15 goals in the first half of their games today - that is cause for concern

The lights are flashing red. But scholarships are expensive, man. Lose, chip away at adding scholarships, lose a little less, chip away a little more, hit .500 in 6-8 years?

AU outscored us 8-1 in the first qtr today and lead 9-3 at the half - our team is underperforming - might be decision no.2 for ADKH after men’s bball

Do the women have the same scholarship deficit relative to their PL peers as the men?

AU seemed to hold back after taking a commanding 8-1 lead in the 1st Q … very close to a 3rd running clock in 10 games… expect running clocks against Navy and Loyola and perhaps Lehigh... 10 years (8 @ HC and 2 @ Wesleyan) and a career 30% win percentage… “might”? Or a foregone conclusion.
