SAN DIEGO - The San Diego State lacrosse team has picked four captains for its first season in school history.
Sophomore Isabelle Pickett (Adelaide, Australia), and freshmen Bailey Ewing (Reistertown, Md.), Lauren Paul (Grasonville, Md.) and Madison Wallace (Chantilly, Va.) have each been selected by their teammates and coaching staff.
"We are thrilled that these four student-athletes will be representing our team as the first captains in program history," head coach Kylee White said. "They demonstrate all of the characteristics of our team-first mentality, both on and off the field. They'll embrace their leadership role and help us continue to improve each and every day."
The Aztecs are coming off a 17-4 victory over the San Diego Lacrosse Club in an exhibition game on Saturday.
