Keira Dodd
Saint Lawrence University
I’m originally from Los Gatos, California, and began playing lacrosse in fifth grade. Over the years, I competed for both RedHawks and Verve Lacrosse and have spent the past three years coaching and helping younger athletes develop their skills and confidence on the field.
I currently attend St. Lawrence University, where I compete on the women’s lacrosse team as an attacker at the NCAA Division III level. My experience as both a player and coach has given me a strong passion for the game and for helping the next generation of athletes grow, compete, and enjoy lacrosse.
