“Caitlin is the first lacrosse player from Carmel High School to sign with a Division I school,” said varsity lacrosse coach Kerry Hackert.
“She has been playing lacrosse with me since sixth grade," Hackert said. "The program was brand new then and I still remember her at camp because she didn’t have a stick. I told her if she practiced, she could borrow mine. She definitely held up her end of the bargain."
Murphy has been a starter for the varsity lacrosse team for three years and co-captain for two. As a midfielder, she was awarded All-Section Honorable Mention status last year and All-State this year.
Her most momentous milestone was reaching 100 goals last season — also a first for any Carmel High School lacrosse player (boy or girl).
“She has been a tremendous asset to the team,” Hackert said. “We are so proud to see Caitlin achieve her goal, which is to play lacrosse at college.”
“Caitlin Murphy is a young lady that exemplifies the student athlete," said principal Louis Riolo. "Her hard work and dedication in the classroom, on the field and in gym have provided her a wonderful opportunity,” said Riolo. “She distinguishes herself on the field as she has in life--with great class, grace and determination. We wish her all the best in her collegiate career.”
