Rock Canyon’s Carlie McCrillis commits to Winthrop for lacrosse
Carlie McCrillis, a sophomore at Rock Canyon, committed to Winthrop to play lacrosse at Winthrop last month, according to her mom, Laurie.
McCrillis, a defensive midfielder, plays for the co-op team girls lacrosse team at ThunderRidge. During her freshman season, she recorded 17 ground balls, won five draws, and also scored a goal.
McCrillis plays club lacrosse for Team 180.
Winthrop, a Division I program in South Carolina, made the NCAA tournament last season after going 17-4. According to the program, it was the most successful season a Big South Conference member has ever had in women’s lacrosse.
ThunderRidge went 13-4 last season, and advanced to the quarterfinals.
Meghan Gordon, McCrillis’ friend, teammate and fellow member of the Class of 2018, has committed to Navy.
