The Daily Bruin

My name is Natalie Harrington and I am the new women’s lacrosse coach at George Fox University.  I wanted to inform you on the opportunity to play here at George Fox.

We are competing this upcoming spring and would like to see if anyone else is interested in playing! This is the chance of a lifetime to make history as the first women’s lacrosse team at George Fox. There will be a few meetings and 16 practices held in fall; after Christmas break we will be practicing more frequently. We have a brand new beautiful lacrosse stadium to play in and a chance to build a strong lacrosse family.

We are a fully sponsored sport by the university and little to no experience is required. All I need is your hard work and dedication to the sport, your team and yourselves!

Please contact me at nharrington@georgefox.edu if you are interested in attending our informational meeting and GO BRUINS!
