Penn Legacy’s Frostbite tournament will enjoy two sunny days of competition this weekend, and it will also host some of the East Coast’s best girls high school teams. The region’s traditionally strong teams – ones that have competed at the national championships – targeted this pre-season event as a means to jumpstart a more competitive 15s season.
There are two divisions, and the top tier includes New Jersey state champion Morris, which is sending eight players with Atlantis to the LVI 7s the following weekend (read more); Virginia state championship West End, which is sending an additional four players to Las Vegas with Atlantis; Maryland heavyweights and nationals vets North Bay and West Carroll; and reigning Pennsylvania 7s state champion Doylestown.
There are some great rivalries that will play out between these teams, and many will be revisited six weeks later when Morris hosts a Northeast Invitational (read more). The goal is identical to that of Frostbite: Get those teams that want to elevate their games playing against each other more often.
The second tier includes host Penn Legacy, Fairfax (Va.), North Bay B, Virginia Motley Crew and Frostbite Barbarians (Va./Pa.). There’s also a women’s college division with DI (Maryland, UPenn, Temple) and DII (Stony Brook, Kutztown, Millersville) teams.
