Jen Adams is without a doubt one of the best women’s lacrosse players ever who would likely be on the Mount Rushmore of lacrosse for both the men’s and women’s games. With her signature pigtails blowing in the wind she struck fear into opposing teams.
The Australian made her way to Maryland to play for the Terps where she would break seemingly every record in the book. She was a key player from the start helping the Terps win the 1998 National Championship, but it was in the next three years she would completely dominate college lacrosse. Three 100 plus point seasons and averaging 5 or more points a game all while leading Maryland to three for National Championships. After her college career, she would continue to make her mark as college coach and also starring for the Australian national team.
3x National Player of the Year, 3x First Team All-American, 445 Career Points (267 goals and 178 assists in 86 games), the first Tewaaraton Trophy Winner in 2001, 4x National Champion, member of Australian National Team in 2001, 2005, 2009, 2013, and World Champion in 2005.
When the ball was in her stick there was a good chance it would lead to a goal. Her quick and elusive dodging let her fly by defenders and her pinpoint shooting was unstoppable. Perhaps her greatest skill was finding ways to involve her teammates in the play as she fired passes through the defense and set up brilliant give and go’s. She inspired a generation of young girls to dream big and her impact on the game is still felt today. Thank you for everything you’ve done to help grow the game #7.
