...tense and determined young lacrosse player on this week's cover is not a superstar. Nor is it her team we are celebrating, though it happens to be the national champion. Instead, our cover story is about the revolution that is taking place on the country's playing fields as, at all ages and levels, women have moved into the world of sport...
Yvette's athletic gifts are equal to her hopes. Her coach, Laura Holden, states unequivocally: "Yvette is the most talented player I've ever seen. When I first saw her shoot, I just about fainted."
