Alex Petrie had an excellent freshman season at Lafayette College. He was named as the league's rookie of the year. He is, however, still a freshman. As much as he received extra attention from opposing defenders during league play this season, Petrie also garnered a lot of looks (and instruction) from Leopards' coach Fran O'Hanlon.

Katie Leto quickly learned to persevere during her freshman season on the Lafayette women's lacrosse team. After enduring growing pains early in coach Alison Fisher's tenure, Lafayette made the Patriot League tournament in Leto's last two seasons as an attacker. Much of the same can be said of Leto's start of her professional career.
