Congratulations to the University of Minnesota Women's Lacrosse team on an incredible season capped by a 3rd place finish at the 2026 WCLO National Championships. And a special congratulations to goalie Lauren Stark, who was named to the WCLO All-Tournament Team.

“I am so proud of everything this team accomplished this year and thrilled that we ended our season with a third place medal at Nationals. This group truly brought out the best in one another, grew together, and continuously raised the bar to earn their spot on the podium. I could not have asked for a better team to lead; they represented our school and our sport with so much heart and left a legacy that will define this program for years to come." – Josie Rohach, Head Coach

“I’m incredibly grateful to be selected for the WCLO Nationals All-Tournament team, and to be considered alongside so many other talented lacrosse players. As a senior, attending Nationals and going on to earn a third-place finish was a very meaningful closure to my time with Gopher Women’s Lacrosse. I am so proud of this team and each and every one of my teammates, I love being their goalie, and I greatly appreciate receiving this honor from the WCLO.” – Lauren Stark

“It has been an honor to serve as captain and president of our team this year! We have such a talented and special group of young women. Every member of the team had a crucial role to play in our success this season. Can’t wait for the next one, go Gophers!” – Grace Stamm, President & Captain

We are so proud of everything you accomplished this season. Go Gophers!

RecWell offers massage therapy to help you relax, recharge, and actually feel like yourself again.

And there's real science behind it. According to RecWell Massage Therapist Tricia Kloeckl, massages "actually increase the 'feel good' neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, endorphins, and oxytocin."

Regular sessions = less stress, better mood, and a body that's ready for whatever finals throws at you. You can read all about the benefits and what to expect at your first appointment in our latest blog: https://umnrecwell.exposure.co/ 💆💛

You deserve this one. Go treat yourself.
