 | | | Sydney Gray (12) Photo Mark Bell | | | | | | After scoring six goals and having had two assists in an 18-16 victory over Berkeley, Miramonte freshman lacrosse player, Sydney Gray, was just named the Bay Area News Group female athlete of the week. "I was very excited when I heard that I was named, and that so many people in the community voted for me made it more surreal," Gray said. "The team has been super supportive with everyone cheering for each other, and the team working so well together has really helped me on the field. Coach (Jackie) Pelletier has been coaching me since the sixth grade, and she's the most supportive on the field and has a lot of care for everyone."
"Sydney is on a short list of freshmen that I have coached and been so dominant," Pelletier said. "She's very confident and has great field IQ, seeing the field and understanding the game. She has worked very hard on her stick skills, shooting, footwork, and is just a very graceful player. She has been an attacking player and is now a midfielder because her defense is phenomenal and been dominant on the draws." |
