Spring 2015 • Crusader Nation 3 Women's lacrosse building on its success By Chris Edmonds '04 F all ball was behind them, final exams lay just ahead, and the start of the season was more than two months away. The members of the women's lacrosse team might have been forgiven for shifting their sport to the back burner, but not so with this group. "The way we played this fall, things are looking great for the spring," said Lissie Russert, a senior and one of three captains for 2015. "It's the best end to a fall season that I've experienced." Last year's Patriot League semifinalists gained confi- dence, team members said, in knocking off Bryant, who had dealt the Crusaders an overtime loss in their 2014 season opener. The team also began the process of integrating a large and talented freshman class. And with an eye beyond the coming spring, a fund- raising initiative to hire a second assistant gathered momentum. The effort, its backers say, will help in elevating the program in the league, regionally and nationally. Coach's Game Plan Attacker Lissie Russert '16 (Cincinnati, Ohio) is pursuing even bigger goals this season.
