The fourth year of Women's Lacrosse will bring
some exciting changes, last Spring the WHAC
voted to make Women's Lacrosse a full varsity
Conference Championship sport. This made the
WHAC the first conference in the NAIA to
make such a move, the NWLL the National
Association made up of all NAIA programs also
continued to see growth and made the move to
give it a more National footprint by moving its
National Championship from Rome, GA to St
Louis, MO area, this gives it a more centralized
location to make it easier for all programs.
With the change within the WHAC our Saints
will now play a Home and Home with their
other WHAC programs and then fill their
schedule in with other NAIA and NCAA teams.
The Schedule will provide a good challenge for
your Lady Laxers who will open the season
Ranked 3rd in the Nation, behind defending
National Champions SCAD and last years
runner up and WHAC foe Indiana Tech.
AQ will be lead by a very strong group of
Seniors who represent the programs very first
recruiting class four years ago, these young
ladies have already made a mark for themselves
and are looking to close our their careers with a
National Championship. Bre Stockall
(G, Okemos), Lauren McCarty (M, GR
Catholic), Liza Flewelling (A, Flint Powers) and
Kati Rogers (A, Portage) will also be this years
captains. Rogers and Flewelling were both
named All Americans last year for the Saints,
Stockall has been a stand out goalie for four
years and McCarty leads the team first line at
midfield for the high paced Saints.
AQ lead the nation in scoring and assist last
year with the fast paced, run and gun style of
play and they look to raise that bar again this
year. Meaghan Farrell (SO, GR Catholic), Alisa
Skluzacek (Jr, St Charles, IL), Sam Fogus (Jr,
Midland), Iris Bannon (FR, Orangeville, ONT)
and Anne Morrow (FR, GR Catholic) have all
been working hard to get to know each other
and work in front of Stockall and Jr Goalie
Meghan Gray (Fisher,IN) in the Saints complex
defense.
Alexa Burns (So, Ladywood) moves back to
Attack and is now paired with Rogers and
Flewelling along with junior college transfer
Mikela Caseria (Genesse CC,NY) on the potent
offensive end of the field for AQ
Along with McCarty the Saints Middies, the
work horses of the team are lead by Juniors
Taylor Truttschel (Arrowhead, WI), Abby Lux
(Glenbrook North, IL),Monelle Bradshaw
(Coral Springs, FL),and Bailey Terebinski (Flint
Powers), Sophomores Haley Jacob (Rocky
River, OH) and Kenzie Klingenberg (Grand
Haven) and Freshmen Lindsay Barrett (Marion
Catholic) and Courtney Wheelock
(Indianapolis, Ind). This group of ladies have
been working hard to learn both ends of the
field and learn each other as line mates.
This group of ladies have set the goal of
winning this years National Championship and
with hard work and good team chemistry they
will be able to reach that goal.
