March 19, 2018 Posted by Matt Pencek Featured Sports, Local Sports

Salisbury – James M. Bennett girls lacrosse coach Becky Gregory will rely on five seniors to provide leadership and generate wins at the start of the 2018 season. All five (Dara Gregory, Caitlyn Dunn, Hope Shearer, Jaibyn Hull, and Kayla Beale) have the knowledge that their lacrosse playing days will continue. Gregory’s players all have commitments to play in college.

“Its academics too and these five girls came in did very well with their lacrosse skills and their GPAs,” Gregory said. “To look at college having great GPAs they really have their choice.”

It is a close knit group of players, all played together for the Delmarva Dolphins lacrosse club. “We’ve all been wanting to play college lacrosse that was the goal from the start,” Hull said. “Its exciting to see everyone go on and play at their perspective colleges.”
