This past summer, we launched our first Best In Class Women's event. The talent, coaches, and recruiting aspects were top notch. 5 of the Top 10 ranked 2024s (by Inside Lacrosse) were in attendance, and competition was deep throughout.
We are always trying to set the bar higher for training experiences.
This past summer, we introduced a combine, with the goal of building metrics in a sport that often doesn’t incorporate data into recruiting decisions. We feel the more touch points and data points, the better when it comes to answering question marks! We performed over 400 combine evaluations this summer across our 4 events.
Over 80 of our attending athletes have committed (as of Nov 4th!), and we are excited to welcome many back for our December Committed event! Next summer, we will host 2026's and 2025's!

We were able to provide evaluations to all attending players, which they received following the event comprised of recruiting notes and/or some points of emphasis to improve.Take a look at some of our evaluations of a few standouts below from our staff!
Evaluations
Molly Guzik, Midfield
Commitment: Syracuse University
Flying 20: 2.36 seconds

Draws - definitely one of the most technically sound drawers at event. Can consistently pop the ball to her space and collect. Great switch up between draws and is dynamic from one stance so she’s impossible to scout. An area to improve is communication with circle players in order to direct a box out to a more productive area.
