Navy women's lacrosse had a hole on offense that Kelly Larkin fit into perfectly.

That's because the freshman attacker is a southpaw, which the Midshipmen sorely needed after losing Codi Mullen to graduation.

"It's always an advantage to have a natural lefty because it balances out your offense," head coach Cindy Timchal said.

Larkin hasn't just filled the left-handed attack role, she has excelled at it. The Bishop Ireton product is Navy's second-leading scorer with 28 points through seven games.

"Kelly has a great stick and does an excellent job of finding open cutters," Timchal said.
