NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Two members of the Vanderbilt lacrosse team’s incoming freshmen class were recently honored for excellent prep careers.
Ally Carey, a midfielder at John Carroll (Md.), was named the Baltimore Sun Player of the Year after leading her Patriots to their second straight Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland A Conference championship.

Carey and fellow Commodore signee Natalie Wills were both named to the 2008 Toyota High School All-Tewaaraton Team, which featured 12 male and female winners chosen from schools in the Baltimore-Washington Metro Area. Wills, a goalie at St. Mary’s (Md.), helped her team advance to the conference quarterfinals this spring.
Along with Carey’s IAAM crown, three other state championships will be represented by next year’s VU freshmen. Kendall Pittinger, Hannah Clark and the Connors sisters (Kacie and Kelly) were a part of title teams in Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, respectively.
