Women’s Lacrosse Announces Captains for 2011 Campaign

Adrian College head women’s lacrosse coach John Sung has announced the four captains for 2011, as the Bulldogs fall season came to a close after they had a successful fall scrimmage against Division I University of Cincinnati. The Bulldogs fell 12-10 to the Bearcats.

Seniors Amanda Faraone and Andrea Soloko along with juniors Rachel Johnston and Amanda Lambert have been named captains of the women’s lacrosse team for the 2010-2011 season. Faraone, Lambert, and Johnston are serving their third years as captains. Soloko will be serving the role for the first time in her career. All were voted on by their teammates.

Faraone (Mentor, Ohio) has been a great leader on and off the field for the past three seasons serving as both a starting and backup goaltender. Faraone was named to the IWLCA Honor Roll this past season as well.

Johnston (St. Catharines, Ont.) is coming off a sophomore season where she led the team with 101 points. She was also named First Team IWLCA All-Region for the second consecutive season.

Lambert (Suffern ,N.Y.) was also named First Team IWLCA All-Region for the second consecutive season.  She was second on the team with 88 points as a sophomore. Lambert also led the team with 51 draw controls and 50 ground balls. Lambert was named the 2010 team MVP.  

Soloko (Northville, Mich.) begins her first year as captain coming off a junior campaign in which she had 18 points. Soloko brings a great work ethic and grit to the group. She also brings great creativity on and off the field. 

After a 14-3 record last season, these four look to build off of a successful fall and lead the Bulldogs towards another winning campaign and their first NCAA Tournament birth. The Bulldogs open the season on February 26th at Christopher Newport University.
