Coach’s Outlook for 2017: “We’re looking forward to the 2017 season. We have a strong senior class and they will be surrounded by a strong group of underclassmen. The WVC continues to improve which is forcing us to work even harder – should be an exciting season in NEPA!”

Coach’s Outlook for 2017: “After only graduating two seniors last year and adding some strong new talent, The Hill Girls Lacrosse program looks to pick up where they left off last season. The returning skill level is high, so the trick to the season will be gelling the team together for one common goal. The coaches are optimistic that the program rebuilding is in the past and a strong team will emerge this season.”
