“With an eight-goal performance in the Lady Crusaders’ season opener, Christiansen knew she had a chance at something special in 2022. 

What followed was a staggering number of goals and arguably the best season the area has ever seen. The junior midfielder finished with 106 goals. That was good for second in the state and 31st across the country according to MaxPreps. 

As part of her torrid pace, Christiansen notched five or more goals on 14 occasions. She cracked the 100-goal mark during the team’s regional-quarterfinal victory over Menendez on April 19.  

Additionally, the midfielder chipped in 105 draw controls, 44 ground balls and 35 caused turnovers.

H.S. Lacrosse: Pensacola Catholic duo to represent North Florida at USA National Tournament

28 May

“This past spring, Brinley Christiansen and Julia Frosch were at the forefront of Pensacola Catholic’s finest season in girls lacrosse.”

The Crusaders’ campaign came to a close in late April, but not before the team captured its first-ever district title along with its maiden FHSAA postseason victory. Helping Catholic finish with a 16-5 record, the sensational midfield duo were as dominant as any players in the area. 

One month later during Memorial Day weekend, both Christiansen and Frosch will each have the chance to showcase their talent on a national stage. They will represent the North Florida region at the USA Lacrosse National Tournament scheduled for Saturday and Sunday from Cedar Lane Regional Park in Bel Air, Md..”
