I was just surprised at how big the teams have become. Woman’s lax teams used to have about 35 players on the sidelines but now are at 45. Pitt has a new team (first year) and I think there were more than 5 grad students starting. That means they aren’t horrible this year, but how 'bout in 3 years?

Playing time was a big deal for my daughter. I don’t think freshmen are seeing a lot of field time. Can’t blame the coaches as would you want to have a 17 year old kid who doesn’t know all the college rules and is still growing, or a 22 year old with 4 years of college experience under her belt and maybe a tournament win on the field?
