Women's Lacrosse sets the pace for its introductory season on campus with the addition of 25 fresh faces to compete in the program's inaugural season.
 
The team is made up of a mix of student-athletes from all over the country, bringing in an array of talent from California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Maine, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon, Utah and Washington. The team will feature 19 incoming freshman and six transfers, with 12 members previously holding captain titles, three state champions, four All-Americans, six player and/or athletes of the year and eight players boasting all-state titles.
 
"Knowing what we have gone through during the recruiting process over the past year, it's great to finally see this roster come together," Head Coach Joseph Manna said. "Individually, they all have stories, so collectively, it's great to see our story take shape."
