The 2009 Generals Lacrosse season brough many accolades to the team and individuals alike.

I would like to take this time to thank the 2009 class of Colleen Evans, Katie Flippen and Kelsi Robinson for a fantastic 4 years at W&L. Their hard work, determination and commitment resulted in many successes for the program, including a four year record of 61-16, 3 ODAC Championships and 3 NCAA berths. Each of you are incredible young women and I look forward to seeing where your talents and passions take you.


Finally, a big thank you to Rachel Barr and Wendy Orrison who have now completed their final seasons with W&L women's lacrosse. Rachel completed her 3rd year with the Generals this spring and has returned to New Hampshire to explore career options in nursing and graphic design. Rachel will be missed for her insight on and off the field, her guidance and leadership to student-athletes and, of course, her killer pool workouts and arts and crafts abilities! Over Wendy's eight years with the program she has been a voice of fun, passion and commitment and someone we all will miss at practice each and every day. THANK YOU!!

We are incredibly proud of this year's successes both on the field and in the classroom and are very excited for the 2010 season! See you all in the fall :-)
