2023 Outlook: “While we lose 4 key players and leaders from last years team, we do return 8 starters (four of whom were named All-area players). Those four are also multi-year starters on back-to-back District Champion teams with a ton of high school and club lacrosse experience. Our core group has played together for a long time and we will count on their leadership to help us reach our goals. We have some talented, athletic, young players that will be counted on to contribute significantly.”
