The lacrosse program is certainly on the rise. This season look promising after a great turn out for tryouts and the strong players on both the varsity and junior varsity levels. Over the course of the past three years, the program has grown and expanded.  For one of the first times in Regina lacrosse history, the team can afford multiple subs for the games.

Nora Byrne ’16, Lily Hackett ’16, and Flo Hoxha ’17 are this year’s varsity captains. They all are very experienced and driven to have a winning season. Junior Varsity has many new players that are quickly learning the game, and they are eager and dedicated to have a great season as well.

Allie Svachula ’17 says, “I am very excited for this season. This is my second year playing Regina lacrosse, and I am happy to return. We have a lot of skilled players. I think we will have a great season.”
