As noted by Mill Valley Patch — Wheaton College rising junior Taylor Roy was one of the key members for the Israeli women’s lacrosse team this summer — a squad that recently captured the 2012 Europe Lacrosse Festival Championship in Amsterdam against the American-based club Global Players.

The Global Players had defeated Israel during round-robbin play, but the Israeli squad rebounded by winning the most important match of the festival.

Also noted by Patch — Roy will be in Israel for the next few weeks and will be conducting youth lacrosse programs, as well as assisting the non-profit, Israel Lacrosse, by raising money to support the growth of the sport. She will also be collecting new and used equipment for the youth program, too.
