i was wondering after looking t their roster what is the draw of new england players to florida for eckerd college, i know we have the draw of religious affiliation, i was just wondering. Good to see teams stepping into the uslia and getting some recognition.

very highly rated marine biology(?) school or something to the effect. absolutely beautifuly campus right on the beach. I would recommend all conference teams always play eckerd @ eckerd. Their field is literally an errant shot away from sunbathers and the gulf of mehico.

I heard University of Tampa also had a large amount of guys from up north. Do they have a team as well?

Eckerd was definitely a surprise...great to get a new team that is that experienced and seems pretty organized. I'm looking forward to see more teams added from FL that are of their caliber....

there are quite a few college teams functioning down here; palm beach atlantic, university of miami, u tampa, embry riddle (perhaps as many as 5 that i cannot name off the top of my head). They all play in Division 2 of the Florida Lacrosse League. A lot are planning on jumping to the SELC in coming years. Palm Beach Atlantic might be the only one who is ready organization-wise. Geography-wise they are screwed.

SELC 2010 Divisions:
North
Central
South-Central
Florida

Eckerd has a high percentage of kids from the north in general but also an unusually high percentage of private school graduates. private schools in the North are lax powerhouses
