Three members of Seminole Ridge High School’s girls varsity lacrosse team will continue their competitive lacrosse-playing careers in college. Reagan Bresnahan, Georgia Garrison and Kendall Doran signed their collegiate letters of intent on Thursday, Nov. 21 during an on-campus signing ceremony.
Bresnahan is committed to playing lacrosse at Molloy University, an NCAA Division 2 program, which is located in Rockville Centre, on Long Island in New York. She is a goalie and will be studying communications/broadcasting.
Garrison will be attending Mars Hill University in Mars Hill, North Carolina. She has been playing lacrosse for nearly 10 years. On the field, she can play a variety of positions, including goalie. Her favorite positions are attack and midfield.
Doran, a midfielder, will be attending the University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, Kentucky. There, she will major in communications.
Doran is well aware that there will be a big difference between high school lacrosse and the collegiate game.
“It will definitely be more physical, and the players are more aggressive,” Doran said.
Bresnahan began her lacrosse career as a defender, but she transitioned to goalie the summer after her freshman year. Her mother is very excited about this next step up the lacrosse ladder for the three girls.
“This is such an exciting time for these girls, especially since South Florida is not really considered a hotbed for lacrosse,” said Helena Bresnahan, Reagan’s mother. “It is also an exciting time for women lacrosse players, as the WLL [Women’s Lacrosse League] is going to be starting, and lacrosse will become an Olympic sport, as well.”
Garrison will be majoring in zoology. She will also be completing her pilot’s license, as one of her career goals is to become a commercial pilot. She has been playing lacrosse for nine years and played club lacrosse for Florida Select Navy this past summer.
All three girls are teammates on the Seminole Ridge varsity girls lacrosse team, which will open its season on Feb. 11 at West Boca Raton High School.
