The women’s 2023 NCAA Division 1 lacrosse season is quickly coming to close so let’s take a look at the goalie gear setups used by the top keeps this season.
If you’re new here, this is where I take a look at the Top 20 ranked teams and we see what gear their goalie is using.
This blog post is somewhat of a tradition now and here are some past posts in this series:
The list of Top 20 teams was taken from Inside Lacrosse ranking as of May 3, 2023. By the time you read this post the current men’s top 20 might look very different as it continues to shape and morph all season long.
Let’s get into it! If you see any errors in this post, leave me a comment down below.
After winning 2 goalie of the year awards at Tufts (D3), Molly is showing everyone she can compete at the highest level as the anchor of Northwestern’s defense this year.
She has made the some sensational saves this season and has the Lake Show rolling into the playoffs.
Laliberty goes with the now discontinued Warrior Nemi 2 as her weapon of choice.
The Boston College Eagles handed over the reigns to freshman Shea Dolce around mid season and its clear to see why.
While Rachel Hall was a great goalie (a national champ even!), the powerhouse Eagles knew that something special with Dolce. She’s so explosive inside that 6×6 and has some great size to keep that rubber ball out of the goal.
Shea is laced up with one of the Sidewall Jedi’s black hole devices with the ghost pocket!
After splitting time with Kimber Hower last season, Delaney Sweitzer earned the full starting role this season and the Orange have found their answer in net.
Sweitzer was the Inside Lacrosse mid-season 1st team All-American pick and for good reason as she looks like the nation’s top goalie this season.
What’s so interesting about her style is just how easy she makes the saves look.
This is the last year for Florida senior Sarah Reznick and she’s trying to go out with a bang.
The feisty and quick New Yorker is a having a strong season for the Gators earning an IL mid-season 3rd team All-American selection.
She’s 4th in the NCAA in save percentage at .527 and 17th in GAA at 9.51 goals per game.
Sarah is a Lax Goalie Rat sponsored athlete which means we signed an NIL Deal to create some awesome lacrosse goalie training for the youth. Proceeds go directly to support Sarah and your young goalie gets a great mentor! Win-Win!
Reining goalie of the year Emily Sterling hasn’t put up the mind blowing numbers like she did last year. But she’s as good as they come in the goalkeeper position!
At 13-5 her team as faced some adversity this season but could be poised to win a Big 10 and a national championship.
Emily continues to use the custom dyed UA Command that she used all last season. During a Q&A from her college goalie training pack, one young goalie asked Emily if that stick had another season of life left in it. The answer was yes.
Sterling also talked about the importance of the red tape on her stick. A visual focal point she can come back to when her mind starts to wonder.
Emily is a Lax Goalie Rat sponsored athlete meaning we partnered together on an NIL deal to release some insanely cool lacrosse goalie trianing content for the youth. Check out it out here!
The women’s Cavaliers team have split a lot of time at the goalie position with senior Ashley Vernon logging significant minutes.
Ash is a Lax Goalie Rat sponsored athlete which means she put together an awesome college goalie training full of coaching and mentoring for the young goalies out there. Because of our NIL deal proceeds go directly to support Ashley.
UMass only blemish on its record this season is against BC but they will certaintly face some tougher compeition in the national championship tournament.
Can goalie Gina Carrol hold down the fort?
She goes with the UA Command as her weapon of choice.
Kait Devir was named Pac-12 Co Goalie of the Year for her efforts this season manning the pipes for lady Trojans.
KD helped her team to a 14-3 record this season as they enter the Pac-12 conference tournament.
Kait is a Lax Goalie Rat sponsored athlete meaning we put together some amazing virtual coaching and mentoring for the youth goalies. Imagine your young goalie getting coaching directly from Kait herself. Well, no need to imagine it, it’s here.
Here is a save edit from earlier in the season featuring Kait Devir:
Unlock your full potential inside the premier training program for lacrosse goalies. Get exclusive access to technique tutorials, drills, mental game strategies, lacrosse IQ development, and direct coaching from Coach Damon. Join 400+ goalies who are leveling up their skills and confidence.
Being a goalie parent is harder than playing the position. That’s why I created the Lacrosse Goalie Super Mom/Dad course - designed for parents with zero lacrosse experience who still want to support their goalie. You’ll learn how to train them (yes, really), but more importantly, how to guide them through the emotional highs and lows of the game.
Promote your brand, product, or service by sponsoring the Lax Goalie Rat newsletter. It's the easiest way to get noticed by a passionate and highly targeted community of lacrosse goalies and coaches.
Lacrosse is my passion! The game has given me so much and this blog is my way of giving back to the lax community. Specifically the most bad a$$ part of that community - the goalies! After learning to play goalie from scratch, I wanted to create a site where I could share what I learned with others so they too can become champions in the crease and in life. Learn more about Coach Damon.
Elevate Your Lacrosse Goalie’s Game with Expert Coaching!
Join the Lax Goalie Rat Academy for top-tier virtual goalie training! Boost your young goalie's confidence, skills, and success - so you can be the proud goalie Mom or Dad on the sideline 🔥
