What twelve seasons of college lacrosse data show.
Where players come from, who gets on the field, and who college programs overlook. Each finding comes with the data behind it, and a link to check your own town or program.
The top 10 skip Ohio and Georgia. Their players hold their own.
The best women's programs take half as many players from Ohio and Georgia as the programs next door. Measured against their own teammates, those players play just as much — the same quality, with less competition for it.
Massapequa or Islip? A town's record is mostly luck.
One Long Island town's D1 players start; another's sit. Shuffle every player's hometown at random and towns like both appear anyway. A town needs about 100 players before its record is half signal.
