Video Tribute: The CMS Women's Lacrosse Class of 2020
CLAREMONT, Calif. - The eight members of the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps women's lacrosse senior class were 3-for-3 winning SCIAC titles in their first three seasons, compiling a 41-1 league record over their careers. Their chance at a fourth straight league title and trip to the NCAA Division III Tournament was denied by the sudden suspension of spring sports, as well as the chance for a normal Senior Day tribute at the final regular season home game, so we decided to pay tribute to the CMS Women's Lacrosse Class of 2020 via video instead.
