When the women’s lacrosse team arrived in Milwaukee to begin workouts for the 2016 season, one freshman was already in top playing shape. Cate Soccodato, an Italian-American from New York, played for Italy in the 2015 Women’s Lacrosse European Championships this past summer.

Soccodato was the youngest player on the 24-player roster and one of only six Italian-Americans selected to play for the team. She was the only player out of high school selected to play for the Italian team.
