Alumni Information

We are blessed with a fine pool of alumni who after leaving the University have found success both far and near. These women have helped build Pitt Lacrosse to the competitive team that it is today by constantly raising the standards of our club.

Our Fourth Annual Alumni Game was held November 13th, 2005. Unfortunately, due to relocations and other things, the turnout this year was sparse, but the alum and seniors held their own against our underclassmen. Thank you to all the alum who participated. Hope to see you again next year!

If you know any former player who is not listed, please let them know about our site and e-mail updates. Anyone may contact Laura Thomas to update their information or submit it here.
