November 12, 2025

Congratulations to our four senior lacrosse athletes who signed their letter of intent to play the sport they love at the collegiate level! These athletes are the first at GWA to sign for lacrosse and they have set the bar high for players that will follow.

Lacrosse Head Coach Scott Jackson commented, “It’s been an honor to coach these four young men and watch them grow over the years. They’ve put in the work, led by example, and helped raise GWA Lacrosse to a championship level. I’m proud of the players, and the people they’ve become. Four college programs just got a whole lot better with these guys joining their rosters.”
