Ann Arbor – Grand Rapids Catholic Central High School (GRCC) clinched the Division 2 Girls Lacrosse Championship by narrowly defeating Detroit Country Day with a score of 10-9. This thrilling match took place on Friday, June 7, 2024, at the University of Michigan lacrosse stadium.
The victory holds special significance for GRCC, as it comes on the heels of an undefeated championship season last year. However, this season presented a unique set of challenges for the team, which had to adapt following the loss of 13 key players from the previous roster. The most notable departure was Claire Marosi, a renowned midfielder currently playing for Northwestern, who has been acknowledged as potentially the best player to don a Catholic Central jersey.
Despite these hurdles, GRCC showcased their resilience and team unity throughout the season. Early in the year, doubts about the team’s performance arose due to the substantial roster change. However, their consistent hard work and dedication on the field led to an outstanding turnaround, culminating in their championship victory. With this victory, GRCC reinforced their competitiveness and enhanced their visibility in high school lacrosse.
The upcoming matches for GRCC include a game against Traverse City St. Francis High School, scheduled for 6 p.m. ET on Friday, June 6. Following that, they are set to compete against Allegan High School on Tuesday, June 10, at 6 p.m. ET. These matches are part of the ongoing high school lacrosse season, where teams continue to vie for glory.
