Women's Lacrosse Team Wins First National Title

By Emmi van Zoest

The Cal State San Marcos women's lacrosse team won its first national championship by defeating Montana State 17-5 in the title game on May 9.

The Cougars were led by Shea Morgan, who scored seven goals in the final game of the Division II bracket of the 2025 U.S. Lacrosse Women's Collegiate Lacrosse Associates (WCLA) national championship in Wichita, Kan.

The event featured top women's collegiate sport clubs from across the country, including 11 teams in the Division II bracket. CSUSM finished third at last year's nationals.

The national title completed an undefeated season for CSUSM (15-0).

"At the beginning of this season, we struggled with offensive communication and showing up to game days focused and ready," women's coach Jillian Dohrmann said earlier this season. "Late fall, our whole offense met outside of practice and talked about their disconnect, and ever since then we have been excelling and have had great communication and collaboration."

Five Cougars were named WCLA Division II All Americans: Morgan (first team), Angela Chantaca (first team), Kali Price (first team), Cierraleone Warfield (first team) and Kamryn Kinsey (second team). Morgan was also named the Attacker of the Year and the WCLA tournament MVP.
