St. Croix Eagles U18 Red  Team Defeated True Minnesota U18   10-4 to win the 2020 Champions of Summer Lacrosse Tournament 

Why did you choose this college? Aside from just  the beauty of Colorado, I loved the connection  professors and athletes had, and the support athletes  receive. The girls had such great chemistry and I  knew I wanted to be apart of the team Denver had  and the opportunities it gave me. It felt like my  home away from home. 

Potential major, areas of interests academically or  undecided: Undecided 

Other sports or activities involved with at SAHS:  Hockey 

Most memorable experience with the Ponies: When  a few us missed our end of the year banquet for the  all-state game and having to come sweaty and  dressed in our lacrosse stuff. 

Why did you choose this college?  I enjoyed the area that it was in, that it was out of  state, the size of the school, and I really liked their  lacrosse program. 

Potential major, areas of interests academically or  undecided:  Criminal Justice 

Other sports or activities involved with at SAHS:  Gymnastics, National Honors Society, Dollars for  Dreams, Link Leader, Key Club 

Most memorable experience with the Ponies: Winning Sections in 2019 and getting to go to the  State Tournament. 

Why did you choose this college? I feel this  opportunity to attend this college was perfect for  me. I love everything about it especially how I’m  close to home, the small class sizes and how I’m  part of a new family 

Potential major, areas of interests academically or  undecided: Secondary education - math teacher 

Other sports or activities involved with at SAHS:  Hockey (u19s), tutoring 

Most memorable experience with the Ponies: Being  able to connect with each other and support each  other. Also being apart of a family and knowing you have longtime friendships is really cool
