Girls Lacrosse Update 

4/7/26 

 

After a 22-6 win over St. Andrews School, Girls Varsity Lacrosse achieved a new program record. A 18 game regular season win streak. The team’s only DIAA loss; a defeat in the State Final. There is clearly hope in the air surrounding Richardson Field. Has the time come once again for Girls Lacrosse to claim its place on the top of the DIAA pyramid? 

 

Denison commit and Hiller attackman Maise Carr thinks so. “I think if there was a year for us to win a state final, it would be this one. We have such a strong and connected team, it would be a disappointment for all of us if we don’t”. Maise is one of four NCAA commits, which include Charlotte Vanni (Stanford), Cece Clough (Pitt), and Emerson Debacke (Washington & Lee). 

 

However, assistant coach and head of the upper school history department Tara Fletcher says that despite the presence of multiple division 1 and division 3 athletes, one of the most important players on the roster is first year goal keeper and senior, Alexa Rohrbacher. “Alexa left the game a while ago, but has returned when we needed her most, and has shown extreme grit and enthusiasm in goal. That is the type of player who wins games for us”. 

 

Maise Carr and Coach Fletcher both highlight a key characteristic which they think will propel the team the most; Their desire to get better. Coach Fletcher in particular added, “They are students of the game, but what makes them a good group is that they always ask for more drills to do in practice, and always want to get better”. That mindset seems to have been working. 

 

Girls Varsity Lacrosse has not won a state title in 18 years, losing to their ‘rival’ Cape Henlopen high school more than a handful of times in the state semi-final or final. Carr and the rest of the team want to change that. “We really want to beat Cape, because we felt like we could have last year”. 

 

Girls Lacrosse thinks they can go all the way this year, and pick up another DIAA title.
