02 W. Lacrosse Team

The 2002 final four women’s lacrosse team overcame a slow start to advance all the way to the final four, repeating the success of the 2001 team despite the graduation of a graduating class that featured three All-Americans. After dropping two of their first three contests against top-10 ranked opponents, the Eagles hit their stride, winning three straight on the road against Catholic, Washington & Lee, and Lynchburg. A four-game win streak late in the regular season preceded a pair of tough one-goal losses at St. Mary’s in the regular season finale and in the CAC Championship. But one week later, the Eagles topped Randolph-Macon in the NCAA Tournament first round and then exacted revenge on the Seahawks to punch their ticket to a second consecutive final four. The team featured five All-Americans.
