PERFORMANCE SPORTS GROUP LTD NEW YORK, NY - October 15, 2015 - Cascade Lacrosse and Maverik Lacrosse announced today that the Harvard University women's lacrosse team will use CASCADE and MAVERIK equipment for the upcoming 2016 season. The NCAA Division I team plays in the Ivy League and reached the league semi-finals during its 2015 campaign.
'Our team is excited to use MAVERIK this season,' said Lisa Miller, Head Coach for Harvard women's lacrosse. 'The teams at Cascade Lacrosse and Maverik Lacrosse invest significant time and resources to help elevate the women's game. It's clear they're dedicated to and passionate about our sport and that was important to our program.'
The Crimson will wear CASCADE PolyArc Titanium goggles and use MAVERIK heads, shafts and gloves. This fall MAVERIK launched a new elite lineup of heads and shafts, including the ERUPT head and the AXIOM shaft, that will be used by the Crimson.
'This is a testament to our investment in R&D and our premium product,' said Jenna Abelli, Category Launch Manager for Cascade Lacrosse and Maverik Lacrosse. 'We're proud to have such an elite and prestigious program like Harvard be the first NCAA Division I collegiate team to use MAVERIK. Knowing that these premier players put their trust in us when it matters most is something we do not take for granted, and we look forward to a long relationship.'
Last season, Harvard women's lacrosse went 8-8 with a young team and will be returning their entire starting lineup for the upcoming season.
