She is in her 2nd season with the program after earning the team’s Most Improved Player award 2 seasons ago (she took last season off to concentrate on her studies). She is 1 of the 2 goalies on this year’s roster rocking #55.
Fun Fact: She is a top notch party cup/ice chest decorator!

Bottom Left: Freshman Maria Chavez (#19 in white)comes to the Lady Tigers by way of Colorado. She is majoring in Nursing. You will find her executing her Mountain West lacrosse tenacity at both midfield & defense this season wearing #31 for the purple & gold.

Bottom Right: Junior Maggie Durci #27 is in her 3rd season of action with the program. An alum of Caddo Magnet High School in Shreveport, LA now majoring in Biological Sciences with a Minor in Animal Science. Maggie will lead the Tigers defense with her experience & Lax IQ.

nice write up but you'll have to excuse these idiots. They are not smart individuals and have very low IQs and self esteem

Sticks Up!!

Never played but have been coaching my sons team up here in Cinci for a few years. I sure wish they had lacrosse in LA when I was growing up. Great sport with a good balance of finesse, speed, and contact.
