Under the direction of fifth-year head coach Alex Kahoe, the Saint Joseph's women's lacrosse team began official preparation for the 2019 spring season this week. SJU returns 24 Hawks from a squad that is coming off of a program-record, 12-win season, which was capped by a run at the 2018 Atlantic 10 Championship Tournament, and has added 12 true freshmen in preparation of the 2019 spring season.

Saint Joseph's senior attacker Rebecca Lane, senior midfielder Hayley Sabol, and junior midfielders Bridget Cerciello and Julia Pash have been named captains of the women's lacrosse team for the 2019 season, as both voted on by their teammates and selected by the Hawks' coaching staff, head coach Alex Kahoe announced on Thursday morning. Lane returns for her second season of captaincy while Sabol, Cerciello, and Pash earn the title for the first time in their careers.
