Yale Athletics

From the moment they arrived at Yale, members of the class of 2025 have made an impact on the women’s lacrosse program. They leave it as two-time Ivy League champions.

In their first season, in 2022, the team went on a six-game winning streak in the Ivy League, beating every Ivy team besides Princeton. Jenna Collignon ’25 ended the season as the team’s top scorer as only a first year. In 2023, the team ended the season 11–6, with many of this year’s graduating seniors seeing big-time playing minutes. 

They shined even more in 2024 as juniors, ending the season accounting for five of the top seven scorers: Jenna Collignon ’25, Fallon Vaughn ’25, Sky Carrasquillo ’25, Taylor Everson ’25 and Taylor Lane ’25. Last year, the team also made a run in the NCAA Tournament for only the second time in program history, making it to the quarterfinals.

Led by senior captain Sophie Straka ’25, 2025 has been just as impressive, with the team once again winning the Ivy Championship and reaching the NCAA quarterfinals. Additionally, Collignon made history as the program’s all-time leading scorer by surpassing the previous record of 209 goals.

“The senior class has been the true heart of our team — selfless leaders who have devoted so much to carry this program to the place we all dreamed it could be,” Katie Clare ’27 wrote to the News.
