Pine Bush, NY — In a heartfelt tribute to Morgan Rodgers, a former Duke University lacrosse player, Pine Bush dedicated the game against Washingtonville to raising awareness for mental health through “Morgan’s Message,” a non-profit established by Morgan’s family and teammates. It is through this work that we continue to spread awareness for improving mental health among student-athletes and eliminate the stigma around getting help.

Grace Grant displayed her skill with eight crucial saves, anchoring the team's defense. Throughout the game players adjusted to new positions and continued their progression as a team. Pine Bush secured a decisive 17-6 victory and improves to 10-4 on the season.
