"This is an exceptional recruiting class for Princeton Lacrosse, and we couldn't be happier to officially welcome Marge, Sam, Jordan, Morgan, Mary, Olivia and Kyla to our team. Not only are they talented and accomplished players from outstanding high school programs, but they are also wonderful people who will be great ambassadors of Princeton University and fit right in with our team. The class is loaded with potential and exciting to watch. We certainly have high hopes for what they can accomplish during their careers at Princeton, and we're eager to get to work with them on the field and help them make the transition to college lacrosse."
