Two Bethesda natives are in the news as the college women's lacrosse season gets underway this month. Stephanie Hong has been named a captain of her team at Harvard, an honor she also held at Bethesda's Holton-Arms School in 2019. An Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Association Academic Honor Roll selection, Hong became a starter for Harvard last season, scoring her first goal in her first game as a starter.
Closer to home, Navy goalkeeper Emma Richardell has played two complete games for the Midshipmen. A graduate of Walter Johnson High School, she has already exceeded her ground ball total from last year in this young 2023 season. Richardell has a history of excelling early, being named lacrosse team MVP in her freshman year at WJ.

Proud of them both as Bethesdaians, just being a Middie is alone prideful. Too bad Pride shared by Geography is so taboo nowadays. Just saying.
