Celebrating the 25 Greatest South Jersey Girls Lacrosse Players

There’s no place quite like South Jersey when it comes to lacrosse! Over the past 25 years, this vibrant area has seen a remarkable surge in the sport, transforming girls’ lacrosse into a powerhouse. Thanks to boundary changes and restraining lines that came into play at the turn of the century, more and more teams have taken to the field, pushing the limits of what it means to excel in this dynamic game.

Game Changers Leading the Charge

From goalkeepers to midfielders, the talent in South Jersey is undeniable. A recent selection of the 25 greatest South Jersey girls lacrosse players of the quarter century showcases athletes who’ve not only excelled but also redefined their positions, making significant impacts in both high school and collegiate play.

Leading the charge is the magnificent Bianco, hailed as South Jersey’s best-ever goalkeeper. She redefined her role during her incredible career at Northwestern University and now brings her expertise back to the local scene as an assistant coach at Moorestown.

Now let’s discuss the scoring sensations. Blake lit up the field during her three years, racking up a jaw-dropping 241 career goals! It’s no wonder she wrapped up her high school career as an All-American at Princeton University. Following close is Bowe, who scored 182 goals while clinching a national championship with the University of North Carolina – her quickness and jumping ability made her a force to be reckoned with.

Defensive Dynamos and Powerful Midfielders

Of course, it’s not just about goals. Defensive stalwarts like Chumney and playmakers such as Curran have also made their marks in history—with Curran holding records at Vanderbilt University for both goals and points.

Then there’s Dalon, who recorded an astounding 67-0 varsity record during her time at Moorestown before returning as a coach. Meanwhile, Donahue stands out as South Jersey’s first-ever 300-goal scorer, finishing her career with a grand total of 320 goals while dominating at Ohio State.

Incredible Achievements Across the Board

The list goes on: Duffey contributed greatly to Lenape with 247 career goals, while Fornia was instrumental in leading her team to two South Jersey championships. Giordano was a dual threat, excelling in both offensive and defensive roles at Moorestown, helping the team clinch multiple state championships.

Fast forward to the new generation of stars like Jackson, who scored 179 goals at Cherokee before heading off to play midfield at Loyola University of Baltimore. Lillie shined by winning titles at Moorestown and finished strong at Northwestern, marking her name in the league.

The New Wave of Talent

We can’t overlook talents like McCool, the most decorated player in South Jersey history with four state titles at Moorestown, and Monaco, who is currently thriving at the University of Florida after scoring 312 goals in high school.

Transitioning athletes have also made waves, with O’Malley moving from softball to lacrosse to lead her team to three state championships. And let’s not forget players like Read, who shined as a goalie for Eastern and brought a bronze back home for England in the 2022 World Lacrosse Championship.

Wrapping It Up

The legacy of South Jersey girls lacrosse continues to grow, with each player’s story contributing to an impressive history. These outstanding athletes have set the stage for future players, proving that hard work, dedication, and passion can lead to incredible achievements.
