Laura: Now that we’re maybe a less sad about women’s lacrosse losing (jk, still sad), it seems like a good time to chat about what has allowed that team to rise to the top the way they have!
Arthur: I think it’s two things. First, success begets success. Recruits like to go to schools with successful programs, and BC has been a successful program long enough that recruits would have noticed it during recruitment.
It’s the classic problem with bottom tier basketball/football programs: recruits want to go where they can succeed and bad teams are frequently not a good place.
