Twin sisters Kayla and Brianna Harris were together in Gainesville, Florida, when they learned the 2020 women’s lacrosse season was abruptly coming to an end.
No. 19 Navy had lost to eighth-ranked Florida 17-9 on March 10 and two days later the Patriot League announced it was canceling the remainder of the spring sports season.
It was devastating news for Kayla Harris because it meant her collegiate lacrosse career was over. Navy’s standout senior midfielder, a first team All-Patriot League pick in 2019, would be graduating and going to flight school.
“Kayla is very competitive and might love lacrosse more than me, so I felt so bad for her,” said Brianna Harris, who found out a few days later that Florida’s season was over as well.
