Through 14 games, The First Academy girls lacrosse player Anna Currey has been lights out, setting the tone with her production and leadership for a very young Lady Royals team with just four seniors.
With five years of high school varsity lacrosse playing experience, the University of Mary Washington commit and two-year team captain has scored 28 goals, dished out 22 assists and snatched up 17 ground balls for TFA, leading the Royals to a 9-5 record.
As the regular season comes to a close for the Lady Royals Thursday, April 3, against All Saints Academy at home, Currey and her three fellow seniors will look to make some noise in the Class 1A, District 5 tournament and get back to the regional playoffs after missing out last season.
