Leah
Yandow, who plays midfield for the Saint women’s soccer
team and is also a midfielder on the lacrosse
team, took the spring lacrosse season off to study in
Kenya. She returns this fall as a captain of
the soccer team and will rejoin the lacrosse team in the
spring as one of St. Lawrence’s many multi-sport athletes. And
when she puts the uniform on, she starts the game. She has started
50 straight times in soccer in her first three seasons and will resume
a 31-game streak in the starting lineup in lacrosse in the spring
of her senior year.
An All State player in soccer from Essex Jct., VT,
Leah was also basketball MVP and a first team All Star in lacrosse
in addition to being a member of the National Honor Society. A biology
major at
St. Lawrence, she was the winner of the Ronald C. Hoffmann
First-Year Scholar-Athlete Award in 2003 and was a league
All Academic selection in both soccer and lacrosse in both her sophomore
and junior years. She has also earned all league honors in soccer
in both her sophomore and junior years and was a regional All America
as a sophomore. An excellent defensive player in both soccer and lacrosse,
she can also score goals in both sports. She was second in scoring
with four goals and six assists in soccer in the fall of 2004 and
has 34 goals in two seasons of lacrosse.
