Carleton College Women's Lacrosse Club

Spring 2003 Schedule

Team Roster and Score Reports

The Carleton Women's Lacrosse Club aims to teach the basics of lacrosse to beginning players while providing opportunities for skill enhancement, increased understanding of lacrosse, and intercollegiate competition for players of all experience levels.

The club has been a member of the Women's Collegiate Lacrosse League for several years. This year, the club has joined the US Lacrosse Women's Division Intercollegiate Associates, which is composed of eight leagues around the country.

We hold instructive/introductory practices twice a week during the winter term in the Rec Center. In the spring, practices are held four times a week on the Hill of Three Oaks. Games are generally played on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Led by captains Suzanne Beautyman '02, Heidi Rivers '02, and Tracy Heywood '03, Carleton had an impressive season last year, finishing second in the conference with a 5-3-1 record. The team attended two tournaments in Duluth, MN and Madison, WI and hosted a successful indoor tournament in the Rec Center.

The Carleton's Women's Lacrosse club began at least twelve years ago. From '89-'93, the Lacrosse club played Beloit, Grinnell, Lake Forest (in Chicago), Twin Cities, and St. Ben's and hosted at least 2 tournaments of several teams. Between 1995 and 1997 the team's membership has doubled in size and has gained campus-wide recognition. In 1996, the team joined the Women's Collegiate Lacrosse League and were able to travel to Indiana and Illinois to participate in tournament play.

      "I congratulate the current players on all the advances they've made, 
      and I hope they remember how the team started... as a group of
      not-always-so-skilled but highly enthusiastic Carleton women who kept 
      a great sense of humor... I remember a lot of games where we didn't 
      have a goalie and propped up a lacrosse stick with pads on in the goal,
      or borrowing the smallest men's players to fill in for away teams who
      couldn't muster enough players."
                --Allyson Shames (Argo) '93, Captain, Carleton lacrosse '92-'93
