Mater Dei senior Grace Houser added Girls Lacrosse Player of the Year and the Jackie Pitts Award to her already crowded trophy case. Houser, who is headed to Berkeley in the fall, finishes her high school career with 310 points (254 goals, 66 assists), two Southern Section Championships, four All County selections, and numerous other honors. The Jackie Pitts Award recognizes Houser’s off-the-field accomplishments including her academic excellence and commitment to community service. According to US Lacrosse, “This award recognizes a graduating senior in each chapter who truly honors the game of lacrosse, is invested in the development of the game in her community, is an exceptional player who continually strives to improve her game, and is an exemplary member of her team. She exemplifies the spirit of the game, on and off the field. Academically, she is an outstanding student and a valued role model in her school.”
