BUFFALO — Canisius College women’s lacrosse head coach Scott Teeter announced the addition of seven players to the 2017 Golden Griffin roster on Tuesday.
“We are very excited with this incoming class,” Teeter said. “They are adjusting to the speed of Division I Lacrosse and are making us deeper at every position. They have all been competing for starting jobs this fall, which is phenomenal.”
The seven newcomers (five freshman and two transfers) join 19 returning letter winners from the 2016 campaign, which saw the Griffs win the their fifth MAAC Championship in six years over Monmouth 17-5. The Griffs went a perfect 8-0 in MAAC play for a second straight season, before eventually losing to Cornell 15-11 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
