RACHEL KENNEDY

Rachel played Girl's Lacrosse when she lived in California, and unfortunately was not able to continue playing when she moved to North Dakota at the age of 13 (there was no Girl's Lacrosse offered in her area) so she tried to play on a Boy's Lacrosse team, and she clearly was not a boy so that didn't last very long. Rachel hasn't played in a minute, but that doesn't mean she can't still sink them like she used to!

Rachel likes Lacrosse because when she was fortunate enough to play, she played with her best friends. She grew and progressed quickly, and she really found herself in the sport. Lacrosse has always had a special place in her heart. Rachel is honored and excited to be able to help this new generation cultivate those same skills and passion for the sport she loves so dearly. Rachel played MIDFIELD and even stepped into the GOALIE position from time to time.
