International lacrosse has grown dramatically, giving two Marquette women’s lacrosse players the opportunity to compete at the international level.
Senior attacker Cate Soccodato competed for Team Italy and freshman goaltender Delaney Friel competed for Team Ireland in the 2017 Women’s Lacrosse World Cup, which was held in England.
“I was able to play at the highest level here at Marquette and while being abroad, which I think is great,” Soccodato said. “Playing there just made me an all-around better player.”
The Huntington, New York, native had plenty of success, scoring a total of 12 goals and contributing five assists throughout her time with Team Italy in the World Cup.
