If you note, in the upper division, there have been 20 games with only 3 upsets (2 on the play-in rounds).

Gosh, it's almost as if they used a computer to properly evaluate the strength of a team in making the seeds.

They have been using the Power ratings for a few years with some great results. This will come to an end in 2018 when the IHSA regional model kicks in

Why on earth did they ever agree to that?

Only problem with their power ratings is that St. Viator beat a team and is ranked behind them. Viator's only loss coming by 2 goals to the #1 team.

The IHSLA will no longer run their own tourney when the IHSA adds both boys and girls lacrosse. I don't know how the girls tourney is seeded at this point

A committee seeds the girls tournament. They did a decent job it seems, as the only top seed to miss the quarterfinals was #7 losing to #10 by two goals. Semi-finals were 1 vs 5 and 2 vs 3.... 1 defeated 2 for the title. The committee had it measured correctly.

Lacrosse will be an actual IHSA ran sport starting in 2018. It's been club ran every year prior to. There are finally enough schools that can field teams to make it an IHSA sanctioned sport
