Scottie Rose Growney had two goals and two assists in a 14-7 win over Stony Brook.
The first weekend of the season is in the books, and while most of the country has yet to get underway, Division I women’s lacrosse finally has some fresh results.
Nine teams in the top 20 got their seasons started over the weekend, with one top-20 matchup highlighting the slate Sunday afternoon. Of course, it’s probably best to address the elephant in the room. As we explained in the first update to the Nike/US Lacrosse Division I Men’s Top 20 last Monday, the Ivy League teams will remain in our rankings for now.

Six All-Americans. 11 returning starters. One unprecedented top recruit. Can North Carolina be one of the best teams ever?
As high school freshmen, Katie Hoeg and Kerrigan Miller made a pact to play college lacrosse together.
They didn’t play for the same high school but met as fifth-grade club teammates and later played with the Long Island Yellow Jackets. Both top-tier recruits, they visited five colleges together and liked the same ones.
Hoeg committed first, to North Carolina in the fall of her sophomore year. Miller liked the Tar Heels too, but she was torn. The University of Southern California had a rising team she also liked, and she had always dreamed of that California sun. Miller opted for the Trojans.â¯

Caitlyn Wurzburger’s storied high school career and headline-making recruiting process has made her one of the most well-known incoming freshmen ever. COVID-permitting, she’ll begin her quest for a national championship at North Carolina this spring.
North Carolina coach Jenny Levy remembers hearing the crazy news: An eight-grader committed to Syracuse women’s lacrosse.
“We were in the office, and someone came in and said, ‘An eighth-grader committed to Syracuse,’” says Levy. “We were like, ‘What? That’s crazy.’ Now, knowing Caitlyn, it doesn’t surprise me just because of how focused and driven she is.”
