Patriots still ranked in Women's Lax

[OttawaPatriot]

I dont know how this is possible. There must be only 21 D1 teams with one school rotating who gets in and who gets out. Our season this year hasn't been that great, with a sub .500 record, but yet we still get ranked. Not to get too down on the ladies, but I question the voting for the top 20.

Upcoming is a waxing by the Terps.

Points of note, we did have 5 girls that were all-CAA

we had a very tough occ schedule and the caa is a very good lax conference. Penn state is 5-10 and still managed to get into the top twenty.

Also, there is about 70 or so D1 women's lax programs in the country.

I would say that the CAA ranks 3rd in conference power, behind the Big East and the ACC while possibly tied with the Ivies and ahead of the A-10. It's frustrating because we have a good team and some really talented girls but we keep losing to the upper echelon teams.

not a very good argument that a 'tough' ooc justifies remaining ranked :roll:

Plain and simple, teams with losing records shouldnt be ranked.
