“My favorite memory of EA lacrosse has been winning the Inter-Ac league title for the past three years, and hopefully we’ll win it again this year! These league titles came from an entire team effort, and although each year our team was different, we found a way to live on the tradition of the winning EA lacrosse team. -MC Curran
I will definitely remember last year when we beat Notre Dame in the PAISAA tournament. Our team came out to play, especially since our previous game against them was not to good. It is so fun to beat our rivals, but even more fun when it is a big game.” -Lindsey Reder

It was really exciting because we knew that we would be going to New York for Nationals to run in a meet with some of the best runners in the country. “-Kelly Szafara

“My favorite memory from this season would definitely be from EA/AIS day. It was a closer game than anyone expected, so it was the most amazing feeling when Kristen scored with less than two minutes left and the entire student body stormed the field. Plus, we won the Inter-Ac for my last season! “-Kaitlyn DiMarco
