Previous Seasons In the past five years, the PLU Women's lacrosse team has established itself as consistently being one of the best teams in the Northwest at the club level. For over four years in a row the PLU Women's Lacrosse team has been in the top four teams in the league out of over 12 teams each year, being the only Division 3 team to compete with Division 1 power-houses such as Boise State University, Univeristy of Oregon, University of Washington, and Western Washington University. |

We anticipated a peak season last year with a solid line up of
returnees and a talented and athletic class of incoming freshmen. The
season began with a game against the team’s biggest rival, Western
Washington University. The game ended in a tie, pushing the Lutes
right into the beginning of an intense season. Over the course of the
season the team played and beat Lewis and Clark, Willamette, Gonzaga,
and Boise State. The Pacific Lutheran University women’s lacrosse team finished with an
overall winning record. At the League Championships in Boise the Lutes
finished 4th overall, after a tough loss to Western Washington in the
last round. Cellen Coakley, Sarah Ann Keihl, Jami Savage, Emily Bruce,
Kristina Calvert and Nicole St. Amand were named League All Stars and
were invited to play in the All Star game at the end of the
Championship tournament at BSU on the "Smurf Turf."
