Women’s lacrosse player dies in weekend car crash

Senior attacker for CU’s women’s lacrosse team Julia Sarcona, 21, died in a car accident over the weekend, as reported earlier this afternoon by the University.

Sarcona was driving along Colo. Route 119, also known as Boulder Canyon Road, when her Subaru Forester veered off the road and struck a tree, according to the Colorado State Patrol. She was the only passenger in the vehicle, as the Boulder Daily Camera reported earlier today.

“On behalf of all of us in the CU Athletic Department we are heartbroken at the loss of Julia,” said CU Atheltic Directory Rick George in the statement.
