The Eastern Michigan University lacrosse team has announced the addition of 11 new players for the 2025-26 academic year. This marks the first signing class under Head Coach Maddie Dugan, who expressed enthusiasm about the newcomers joining in August 2025. "We are thrilled to welcome this strong and talented class to Eastern Michigan," Dugan stated. She highlighted their "commitment, work ethic, and passion for lacrosse" as significant assets.

The incoming group includes athletes from seven U.S. states and two Canadian provinces, covering all field positions: one goalie, two defenders, six midfielders, and two attackers. The players come with impressive lacrosse backgrounds and have excelled in other sports like basketball, tennis, soccer, rugby, and alpine ski racing.

As they prepare to join EMU's program next fall, current team members look forward to starting their season on February 9th against San Diego State University at EMU's Indoor Practice Facility.

The signees are Emma Baker (goalie), Emma Reichert (defender), Paige Sutton (defender), Ashley Culin (midfielder), Christie Evans (midfielder), Reagan Morrison (midfielder), Ainsley Owens (midfielder), Ashley Poquette (midfielder), Ella Toth (midfielder), Zola LeDonne (attacker), and Brooke Sganga (attacker).

These new recruits bring a wealth of talent and potential to Eastern Michigan’s lacrosse team as they aim for success in future seasons.
