    Coach's Note

    After an outstanding 2026 season that included an NCAA Tournament Elite Eight appearance and a Top 15 national finish, our program continues to establish itself among the nation's premier Division III women's lacrosse teams. Sustaining success at the national level requires an unwavering commitment from our student-athletes, coaches, and the community that stands behind them. As we prepare for another championship pursuit, we know that competing with the nation's best year after year takes resources beyond what our operating budget alone can provide.

    This fall, we will hit the ground running, committed to putting in the work each day to chase our championship goals. While we'll handle everything we can on the field, your support plays a critical role in elevating the full student-athlete experience. Competing at a high level takes a team effort, and we hope you'll be part of ours again this year.

    Our goal is clear: compete for a conference and national championship. We know that reaching those goals takes a team effort, and your generosity helps provide our student-athletes with the resources and experiences that make the difference. Your support helps fund:

    • Team Bonding Activities
    • Custom-Strung Gait Sticks
    • Team Photographer
    • Senior Gifts & Celebrations
    • Bonus Team Meals
    • Additional Equipment & Gear
    • Film Review Software
    • Scouting & Playbook Software
    • Spring Travel

    Every gift—no matter the size—has a meaningful impact on our team. Your generosity helps us provide the very best Division III women's lacrosse experience right here at Christopher Newport. Thank you for believing in our student-athletes and investing in the continued success of CNU Women's Lacrosse.

    Go Captains!
