Interesting how Florida is growing the sport. My daughter played her College ball at Ave Maria in Naples. In traveling to Naples I saw the lacrosse goals at Barron Collier HS, which produced a great women’s player (Ferucci).
Olivia was fantastic. Nearly single-handedly knocked off the Vero dynasty in a Final Four game. I was watching her game in her freshman year against Northwestern when she wrecked her knee. Came so close to winning the D1 Women’s semifinal game in 2019 in OT but the goalie made an unreal save.
We try to post the Ave Maria press releases but they are very shorthanded in their Sports Admin. The best thing that happened to Florida was all the coaches from the Northeast that came down. Pietramala’s predecessor, Tony Seamen, coaches the St. Andrew’s HS program in Boca Raton.
And on the girl’s side we have both American Heritage-Delray with Caitlyn Wurzburger and Lake Highland Prep (former McDonogh HC Chris Robinson now runs that), both Top 10 teams nationally in the aborted season.
We did get half our HS season in before everything shut down but damn I miss it.
