“I am so excited that my class will be Michigan’s very first D1 women’s lacrosse team. That definitely will make my experience unique and unforgettable. I love Coach (Jennifer) Ulehla and (Jen) Valore who were very influential in my decision. Their passion and devotion to building Michigan’s new lacrosse program really stood out for me. I love everything about Michigan and am looking forward to my future there. GO BLUE”

“I would like to thank Julie Weiss, my club coach, who saw all my potential and helped me grow as a lacrosse player. Lastly I would like to thank my parents for their utmost dedication and belief in me. All of you were the key to my success and without your support and dedication I would not be where I am now.”
