When the 2022 women’s lacrosse season gets underway on Saturday, all eyes will be on one person. Charlotte North, a graduate student at Boston College, will take the field for her final season as the No. 1 Eagles open their title campaign with a matchup against No. 4 Northwestern. She’s already accomplished just about everything you possibly can as a college athlete. In 2021, North led BC to the program’s first National Championship, set a new single-season goals record for the NCAA and won the Tewaraaton Award, which goes to the best player each year.
She has dominated in every aspect of the game, but with an extra year of eligibility due to the pandemic’s cancellation of the 2020 season, North has returned for one more season.
