2004 Pacific Region Team Announced - HS Girls

On a long, hot, day in Atascadero, CA, the 2004 Pacific Regional Team was selected . There were over 100 talented HS varsity players from over 26 high schools, vying for only 20 spots on the team that will travel once again to Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA over Memorial Day weekend - to compete at the 71st annual USLacrosse Women's Division National Tournament. The Pacific Team is one of 32 from across the country who will compete in 2 divisions of 16 for top honors.

Many thanks to those who made the tryouts a success and a smooth process - the day would not have been possible without your time, dedication, thoughtful and serious contemplation of the athletes, enthusiam and patience, and always, support through a difficult, intense and challenging task!

A HUGE THANK YOU!!! goes to Michelle Reiss, Sara Hills, Kristina Smith, Elise Smith, Rebecca Meyer, Wade Luckhardt, Jessica Battle, Kristy Gallagher, Courtney Ford, Tara Hannaford and Hilary Nixon. Could not have made it without your help and involvement in the process/day. Forgive me if I have forgotten anyone...

Congratulations to this year's team - we wish them lots of luck and great success at this year's NT!

Best,
