整个季节, varsity lacrosse grew tremendously as a team and as athletes and had a very productive season, despite navigating a few hurdles along the way. Improvement was seen in every game against some very talented and experienced squads, and our new players gained valuable in-game experience. Nightingale is also proud to share that one of our seniors, 艾丽卡 J. ’22, is headed to Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania as a recruited athlete! 艾丽卡, who served as our starting goaltender since ninth grade, has shown a commitment to honing their craft on their own time and over their summers, and will be the first Nightingale player to play NCAA lacrosse in over a decade. Congratulations to 艾丽卡, and congratulations to Carolina A. ’23和丽莎·B. ’22 for being the AAIS League's All-Stars!
