The Knightly News on WINY - April 30

Lacrosse season is well underway at MPrep! Thank you to Mr. Joey Werge ‘21, Boys’ Varsity Head Coach; Ms. Michelle Parker, Girls’ Varsity Head Coach; and team members L. Belsito ‘24, C. Diaz ‘25, S. McGlone ‘25, and M. Wesolowski ‘25, for sharing updates on how their spring seasons are going!

Ms. Parker has been coaching lacrosse for 25 years. She describes the sport as “very exciting and fast-paced.” The players have positively impacted her coaching career, and she “is going to miss this [year’s] team a lot.”

Mr. Werge played lacrosse when he was a student at MPrep and has enjoyed taking on a different role as coach for the boys’ team. “They are super coachable [and] great kids,” he says.

Wesolowski, a key defensive player for our boys’ team, shares his love for the lacrosse community. This is his third year playing at Marianapolis, and he's excited about his upcoming participation in club lacrosse this summer.

Belsito has been playing lacrosse for over ten years. She is thankful to have Ms. Parker as a coach and has made wonderful friends on the team over the years.

McGlone is the goalie for the boys’ team and has been playing since his freshman year at Marianapolis. He always strives to play great defense and stop opposing team goals.

Diaz recalls when she first began playing lacrosse as a freshman. “Everyone was really welcoming,” she said. She is the goalie for the girls’ team and even though it is one of the most challenging positions, she enjoys contributing as an essential part of the team.

Our lacrosse teams have a wonderful sense of unity and exhibit Golden Knight spirit on and off the field. We look forward to cheering them on as their seasons continue!

Our girls’ team looks forward to playing at Rocky Hill Country Day School at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, May 1. Their next home game is Saturday, May 11, at 2 p.m. vs. Vermont Academy.

The boys’ team's next home game is this Wednesday, May 1, at 4 p.m., against Wheeler School.
