Kirisits is Latest Women’s Lacrosse Edition
Legends Tri-Sport Athlete Ready to Become a Cougar
Hannah Kirisits became the latest Cougar to join the women's lacrosse ranks after signing on and enjoying a family campus visit Feb. 21.
After returning from one end of the state and signing Julia Malkischer from the Albany area, Genesee Community College women's lacrosse coach Jeff Reyngoudt stayed a little bit closer to home by heading in the opposite direction this time – west – to recruit literally a legend.
Kirisits plays for the Lancaster Legends in Section VI of the New York Public High School Athletic Association for one of the largest high schools in Western New York that competes at the Double-A level.
Not only does Reyngoudt's latest recruit have the versatility as both a defender and midfielder, but like so many other Reyngoudt recruits, she comes along with a winning pedigree as a high-school sectional champion and her athleticism goes beyond the lacrosse field and onto the courts of basketball and tennis. In addition, there's no better recruit than one that excells both on the field and in the classroom as Kirisits is also an honor student.
Kirisits plans to attend GCC to help pursue a career in graphic design and will join the team in the spring of 2019.
