Phillylacrosse.com, Posted 1/30/21 – From Press Release
Old Dominion University Women’s Lacrosse Head Coach Heather Holt (Radnor) announced her 2021 schedule this week. The Monarchs – featuring a host of Philly players – open the season on Feb. 12 at VCU and host William and Mary on Feb. 24 in the home opener.
Also, Holt named three additional co-captains this week – two from Philly, Dani Dundas (Central Bucks West) and Lilly Siskind (Henderson).
“Under the current circumstances, our staff has worked very hard to put together a very competitive schedule for the 2021 season,” Holt said. “Our team has been focusing on staying healthy and safe while practicing and competing every day.
“This season will present several challenges that we have never faced on and off the field, yet I am confident my team is prepared for anything. This is one of the most talented teams I have coached at ODU and I look forward to a successful season.”
Siskind had 14 goals in 9 games last year as a sophomore. Dundas had 6 goals as a sophomore.
“Along with Brooke Frey and Madison Corcoran, I have named three additional captains, Dani Dundas, Claire Porter, and Lilly Siskind to the 2021 Team,” Holt said.
“These three student athletes have demonstrated strong leadership qualities on and off the field this semester and the team has naturally gravitated towards them during these unprecedented times.
“I am rewarding their hard work by adding them to our leadership positions and look forward to their continued contributions this season.”
