Strong squad this year...who knows, on her way back from injury, disciplinary reasons...could have not deserved it for any number of reasons
also what does the AU have to do with selection (very little in my day - god i'm getting old)
Two Up!
same old loughborough......haha
interesting reason....didnt deserve a place on 1st team that day
brings up an interesting question....should 1st team players be allowed to play on the 2nds if they cannot play in the 1st team game?...new thread me thinks!

Why the surprise?
There are a number of English girls who could have excelled in the NCAA if given the opportunity to train & play in that competitive environment.
Loughborough, Cambridge, Oxford, Edinburough, Birmingham have all had athletes who could compete at very highest level.
NCAA Colleges have the funding & facilities to provide Full-Time Professional Coaches as well as the tradition & culture to give athletes every opportunity to excel, wherever they come from.
Previously, some of the Senior British Coaches actively discouraged players from going to US Colleges which was bizarre in my opinon. I'm glad to see more English girls going this route.
Women's Lacrosse is THE BEST WOMEN'S TEAM SPORT, above Hockey, Netball, Football, Cricket or Rugby
Watching NCAA Final Four games from 2008, they compare favourably as a spectacle with any other televised women's sport.

8 - Maryland
(18-3, NCAA Quarterfinals)
The Terps have reached the quarterfinals twice under head coach Cathy Reese, but now Maryland has the task of replacing eight starters, including two Tewaaraton finalist midfielders in Dana Dobbie and Kelly Kasper. The Terrapins still have a fast and dangerous midfield with juniors All-American Caitlyn McFadden and Amanda Spinnenweber. Australian National Team member sophomore Sarah Mollison and English counterpart Laura Merrifield look to have big impact this season in starting roles.
The big question mark for Maryland is on the defensive end. Junior Karissa Taylor will lead the unit as the Terps look for a starting goalie plus two new defenders.
