Women’s Lacrosse Announces Historic 1st Signing

LA GRANDE, Ore. – Eastern Oregon head women's lacrosse coach Monica Plut announced the program's first-ever signing with Sydney Shaughnessy out of Meridian High School, on Tuesday morning.
 
"Sydney is a great asset to our school, team and athletic program," said Plut. "She is always one of the hardest workers in the room, very dedicated, and has such passion for our sports. She is excited about helping to build a legacy at EOU and for our team. Welcome to the Mountie family!"
 
Shaughnessy becomes the first Mountaineer women's lacrosse player after an outstanding high school career. At Meridian last year, she posted 49 goals and six assists as a midfielder.
 
"If I were starting a college program, I would want to have a team of players like Sydney Shaughnessy coming onboard," said Tom Welsh, Meridian HS head girl's lacrosse coach. "She is a great athlete, student and most importantly, a great teammate.  I have no doubt that her work ethic, positive attitude and infectious personality will help Coach Plut build a first class program at EOU."
 
Shaughnessy is the first player from Meridian HS lacrosse to sign with a collegiate program. She will also be a first generation college student when she attends EOU in the fall.
 
"Ever since I was a kid, my family has always told me to follow my dreams and that nothing can stop me if I put in the hard work and dedication," said Shaughnessy. "EOU felt like that second family, guiding me to my dreams that just became the reality."
 
The signing marks the first steps for the EOU women's lacrosse program as they continue to build towards the 2021 season.
