Eight Lions from the NCC Champion NDCL Girls Lacrosse team earn all-conference honors for the 2026 season. Head Coach Pamela Malone and junior goalie Fallon Campolieti made headlines receiving Coach of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year.
Campolieti, the second year starting goalie, recorded 126 saves this season on 212 shots for a save percentage of 59. Her consistency, athleticism, and strong presence in goal guided the Lions to a 12-3 record with one of the conference's top defenses.
Head Coach Pamela Malone was named NCC Coach of the Year. The Lions had a season for the record books under Malone's leadership in her second season as head coach. This season, NDCL won its first conference title, set multiple team and individual records, and defeated some of the area's top teams. Girls Lacrosse finished the regular season 12-3, the best record in school history. The team's motto this season was "Purpose", and Malone motivated the Lions to do just that.
