Pershing Middle School's club lacrosse team is off to an exciting start, having just kicked off for the students midway through the fall. Although they have not had the chance to compete in tournaments or games yet, their Halloween practice in costume was a spooktacular way to bond and prepare. The team is open to current fifth graders to eighth graders. So far, players include Nicole O’Driscoll, Kinsley Sirmans, Maddy Melville, Karis Lim, and Neve Burton. Under the guidance of Coach Nina Ignatiev, and assistant coaches Clare Gibennus and Cory Perrin, the girls are gearing up for an exciting lacrosse season ahead.
