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.
