Before summer officially starts and our minds turn to fall ball, we wanted to give one last shoutout to an important group of players from this year’s squad. Founded in 1983, Humboldt Lacrosse had only two women play for the program in the previous 40+ years — and this season, we proudly had FOUR.
Huge thank you to Molly McFarland, Sophia Sarmiento, Alisa Keawprasert and Fallon Johnson for stepping up and becoming such an important part of the team this season. During one late-season road trip, Humboldt only suited up 12 players — 8 guys and 4 women — meaning without our fearsome foursome, we may not have even been able to take the field.
Coach Gus called them “super tough” and “team players” all season long. Molly proved to be one of the fastest on the team, while Fallon earned a reputation as one of the toughest. We were constantly impressed by Alisa’s team-first attitude, whether filling in at middie or stepping into the cage as starting goalie for two games. Sophia brought nonstop intensity, energy and positivity every single day.
We’re definitely bummed that Fallon and Molly won’t be back next season, but excited that Alisa and Sophia are sticking around for fall ball 💚
Sophia said:
“Playing on the men’s team was definitely an adjustment, but I’m glad I joined thanks to the help from Coach Gus, who was very supportive, and the team. This team brought me many new friendships and let me play lacrosse in a new setting.”
Fallon added:
“This was such a cool unique experience and this season gave me lifelong friends and memories. I hope they have a great season next year 💚💚”
Thank you again to all four for making program history and helping make this season unforgettable. 🐗🥍
