Girls Lacrosse

Keep Scrolling

This spring marks the 25th season for girls lacrosse at Cate.

One of the top athletic programs at the School, girls lacrosse boasts six US Lacrosse All-Americans and another ten US Lacrosse Academic All-Americans since 2000. The student-athletes of the girls lacrosse program set a high standard for exemplary performance on and off the field.

After several decades of Condor League success, the team moved to the new Santa Barbara Lacrosse League formed in conjunction with the Santa Barbara public schools and Thacher.

2017 marked the inaugural season for the new league, where the Rams will look forward to continued success.
