Milestones to look for next season

Lacrosse
Current sophomore faceoff specialist Jacob Haas can reach an impressive milestone next season. He currently has 103 ground balls and needs just five to move into tenth place in program history- men's or women's. Currently, the only people with more are Zach Stephenson, Zac Barrett, Rachel Lepine, Erika Cross, Hannah Sacristan, Matty Ledon, Andrew Kim, Jaclyn Kernohan, Kerry Ostrowski, Kelsey Dover and Taylor Lincoln (Dover and Lincoln are currently tied for tenth with 107). 

On the women's side, current junior defender Eryn Brown can reach 100 ground balls if she scoops up just six more and current sophomore defender Gwenyth Gibbons can reach the 40-game milestone next season as she's currently sitting at 38. 


Softball
Current junior pitcher Jill Dixon is one shy of 50 appearances for her career and she needs to pitch 16 and 1/3 innings to reach 200 in that category. Current freshman Kylie Ferguson can join the "10-10" club next season, as she has nine wins and seven complete games so far 


Basketball
It's entirely possible that current junior Mackenzie Johnson can surpass two big milestones next season, as she's currently sitting with 520 points and 64 games. She needs 68 points to move into the top ten and 80 points to reach 600 for her career. She also needs to appear just six times to reach 70 career games. 


Volleyball
If Jessica Beckner returns next season, she can etch her name in the Young Harris history books twice. She's currently sitting at 39 appearances for volleyball and 71 appearances between basketball and volleyball as she logged 32 games for the basketball program. The 2022 season can see her become (a) the first person to appear 40 times for volleyball and (b) the first person to appear 80 times between basketball and volleyball.

Starting a 200 Club: Softball

Jackson Jones is a member of this club as he's appeared 204 times for the baseball team. In this blog post, though, I'm looking to add names to the list and I'm starting with the softball alumni.  Grace Botti appeared 222 times between 2016 and 2019  Murphy Davis appeared 214 times between 2015 and 2018 Sarah Magill appeared 205 times between 2013 and 2016  Chandler Stooksbury appeared 208 times between 2014 and 2017  Jill Torres appeared 244 times between 2017 and 2021 Haylie Shope , if pitcher and first base appearances are separate, had 183 appearances at first base and 34 in the circle for 217 total. We then add 47 appearances in basketball and she appeared 264 times overall between 2018 and 2021 (she's in the 200 club with the 47 basketball games played as she's at 230 without the pitching appearances).  So thus far, this is the 200 Club: Grace Botti Murphy Davis Jackson Jones Sarah Magill  Haylie Shope  Chandler Stooksbury Jill Torres

Women's Lacrosse: Career Goals Update

If the season is over (and if she's not returning for her grad year), senior attacker Ashlyn Fraley will finish up a 71-game Young Harris career with 136 goals, the fifth-most in Mountain Lion women's lacrosse history. Only Nicole Kernohan, Kendra Parenteau, Taylor Greenberg and Ella Hancock have scored more.   *It's worth noting, however, that Fraley is the only person in the top five in terms of goals to need less than 200 shots on goal to get her goals- she only need 199 shots on target, so she scored on an impressive 68% of her shots on frame.
