Sachem East Girls Lax Player Commits to Quinnipiac University
Kyle Larkin earns full scholarship to Northeast Conference school.
Sachem East Girl's Lacrosse Goalie Kyle Larkin has committed early to attend and play lacrosse for Quinnipiac University when she graduates in 2014. Larkin's play for the Flaming Arrows has earned her a full ride at the university, according to her coach.
Larkin, a junior at Sachem East, has been on the varsity squad since she stood between the pipes in her freshman year. She made the JV squad as an eighth-grader.
"Last year as a sophomore, she was our starting goalie and a major contributor to the team's success," said Coach Ali Bourgal. "She is an outstanding athlete and, more importantly, a wonderful kid."
