It was HPU’s annual Friends of Jaclyn Foundation game and 10th Annual Mason Run 5K. HPU Women’s lacrosse raised over $5,000 this weekend for the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation.

Lyndsey Boswell: Really happy to get this conference win back on our home field. It’s the second time this week we got to get everybody out there and get a lot of offensive contributions. Abby Hormes is leading the way and she has done such a great job, but she could not do it without the support around her she has Nicole Pugh and Mena Loescher who carry a lot of weight for our offense and lead the way for our younger girls and we are getting a ton of contributions which is awesome to see.

Coach Boswell on HPU Women’s Lacrosse’s 10th Annual Mason Run: We ran the Mason Run, the Friends of Jaclyn 5K this morning for the tenth year in a row and raised over $5,000. We are really happy to honor Mason (former honorary captain) every time we are out there. To get a win on his special day this afternoon was really special.
