Overview
Lacrosse - Girls 1st Team
Brooks plays in the highly competitive Independent School League (ISL), where the 1st girls lacrosse team has made a name for itself due to a "team-first" mentality and hard work. We pride ourselves on having multiple contributors on attack, fast footwork and great communication on defense, and goaltending that consistently ranks at the top of the league. During the most recent ISL Invitational Tournament, Brooks made it to the championship game for the first time, and we are eager to make it back there in 2022.
A product of cohesive teamwork, numerous student-athletes have received individual honors for their performances. In recent years, Brooks players have earned recognition on the local, regional and national levels. We've had numerous players earn All-League, All-NEPSAC, All-American and Academic All-American honors, including the Jackie Pitts Award for an exceptional player who is also invested in the development of the game in her community.
Upon graduation, Brooks lacrosse players are well prepared for the college game. Recent Brooks alumnae have gone on to compete at top Division I and Division III schools, including The University at Albany, Bates College, Colby College, College of the Holy Cross, Davidson College, Denison University, St. Lawrence University, Trinity College and Tufts University.
In recent years, the team has gone on pre-season trips to Florida during March break. These trips provide plenty of practice time, team bonding and competitive scrimmages against programs from across the east coast.

The past few seasons were some of Brooks’ best in several years and we look forward to building on our successes. If you are interested in playing lacrosse at Brooks, we hope that you will schedule a visit to campus through the Admission Office.
