2. She’s back! For the second time this year, Caitlyn Wurzburger will be on the cover of US Lacrosse Magazine.

Wurzburger, who already holds the national high school scoring record with a season to go, earned all-world honors in helping the U.S. women’s U19 team win the gold medal earlier this month and is featured on the September/October issue cover of the magazine. The magazine begins hitting US Lacrosse member households next week..
