When Jennifer VanderMeulen first suited up in her Crimson lacrosse uniform this February, the freshman held modest expectations—primarily to help out on her team’s attack.
But expectations changed rather quickly for the 5’8” attacker when junior Jess Halpern, the reigning Ivy League scoring champion, suffered a season-ending injury in the second game of the season.
The rookie did not disappoint. The attacker scored five of her team’s 10 goals in its double-overtime upset of the Wildcats.
But VanderMeulen did not slow down from there. When all was said and done, the freshman finished the season with 56 goals, good for first in the Ivy League and fourth in the nation in scores per game.
After the attacker netted 10 goals in her team’s first three contests, opposing defenses began to focus in on the New York native by face guarding or sending double-teams.
