If SFU beats Sonoma, I think it will be a safe bet that SFU will get an at large bid if they can avoid an upset vs a lower ranked team. (Washington comes to mind as the most likely candidate) Because a potential loss to Oregon would not hurt them in the polls at all. (or at least it shouldn't)

It's pretty impressive what SFU has done this year with a team that is mainly Freshman and Sophomore's with a few juniors. Especially when you consider they lost two of their top scores from last year in Christians (grad) and Crowley.( no idea, he was only a Freshman i think)


he transferred to NCAA D1

Stony Brook. Getting some recognition too, as per the school's website:

He's leading the team in scoring through the first three games. Good job, Kevin!

Although SFU has been doing a great job attracting good talent, that is one of the challenges they have been facing in recent years.

Most of the SFU players who have 1 or 2 great seasons and then mysteriously dissapear (not mentioning names) are currently at or were at NCAA Div 1 or 2 schools.

Fortunately many of the good players that stay with the team recognize the scholastic and lacrosse-related advantages of SFU and choose to stay home.

I think the results SFU managed after two strong OOC trips only solidifies the reasoning a team must schedule teams from across the country. SFU started at 24 but has worked their way up to 11 thanks to a 4-1 record OOC.

Now only if some of the PNCLL-2 teams read this page and schedule some for next year.
