With three 40-point scorers returning to the Lycoming College’s women’s lacrosse team, first-year head coach Karen Shaddock will have an experienced, high-powered offense to rely on, while a young defense will learn on the run during the season.

Even with the experienced offensive trio of senior Savannah Fox (Port Deposit, Maryland/Perryville), senior Meghenn Jackson (Arnold, Maryland/Broadneck/Anne Arundel C.C.) and sophomore Jordan Lazarich (Deer Park, New York/Deer Park) and a three-year starting goalkeeper in junior Nicole Gerling (Millstone Township/Allentown), the Warriors will still likely turn to five first-year players to start and several more to see significant playing time throughout the season after winning 10 games for the first time since 2010 last year.
