HIGH POINT, N.C. — The High Point University women’s lacrosse team has added 12 student-athletes who will join the Panthers in the fall of 2019, head coach Lyndsey Boswell announced Wednesday (Jan. 9).
“As always, I’m excited to welcome new Panthers and their families to our program,” Boswell said. “This 2019 graduating class is a special one, as they are the 10th recruiting class for our program, and a very dynamic group that will help fill the shoes of our seniors next year.
“Overall, they bring speed, athleticism and a championship mentality, and come from amazing parents that have already started contributing to our success and supporting our current team. We can’t wait to have them on campus in August.”
