Biggest variable in the success of hockey and men's lacrosse is no other significant schools sponsor those sports in this part of the country even though both sports have tremendous growth and athletes in the West. The geographical recruiting advantage is such that they should be a top team almost every year. The men's soccer success is more impressive as they are in a much more competitive landscape. The basketball teams have zero chance of competing for a national championship and that has nothing to do with the fact they don't have a football program.
