  • Nevada Lacrosse Community Rallying Behind Sanctioning Effort

    Lacrosse took Dacia Persky across the country, from her hometown of Las Vegas to one of the county’s most prestigious academic institutions – Wellesley College in Massachusetts. Her transformative time on campus included an idyllic lacrosse experience where she scored more than 200 points in her career.
    So, imagine Persky’s pride when, after returning home to Nevada, one of the young players she coached on her club team was set to sign on to play college lacrosse at her alma mater. Then imagine the disappointment she felt when she learned that this player wasn’t allowed to sign her letter of intent at her own high school because lacrosse isn’t officially recognized by the school.
