Only a sophomore, Brooklyn Toombs made an emphatic statement.<\/p>\n

Toombs scored a career-high 71 goals, helping Calvary Christian make the deepest postseason run in program history, reaching the district finals, where they fell to Pine Crest 15-8, and played in the state quarters to St. Andrew\u2019s before finishing 12-5.<\/p>\n

Toombs knew she would be counted on after being named the team captain following her standout freshman season. Toombs said the team aims to maintain its strong work ethic and chemistry to surpass this season\u2019s success. She also lauded the team\u2019s chemistry and motivation to have a solid year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was looking up to players last year, and this year I had players looking up to me,\u201d said Toombs, who also had 21 assists, 92 points, 45 ground balls and 107 draw controls. The Eagles\u2019 season came to an end with a loss to the Scots in the opening round of regionals.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was definitely a little bit of pressure sometimes,\u201d Toombs said. \u201cI think it was super exciting and rewarding, particularly being able to influence my younger teammates. I believe we can either match or exceed this year\u2019s achievements next season.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe chemistry this year was unlike any other,\u201d Toombs added. \u201cWe were so connected as a team, and were always working hard like no other.\u201d<\/p>\n

Toombs said she looks forward to the next two years on the squad.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I\u2019m just going to continue working hard on and off the field,\u201d she continued, \u201cespecially keep working hard in school and just continue learning about leadership on the team and playing a bigger role in that.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the highlight of the season was just making it as far as we did in the district tournament,\u201d Toombs said. \u201cI think next year we are going to be expected to go a whole lot further, and we are ready to take that next step.\u201d<\/p>\n

The school\u2019s girls lacrosse coach, Alexis Fifelski-Watson, said Toombs is helping shape the future of Calvary Christian lacrosse and putting the program on the map.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrooklyn\u2019s impact on our program goes far beyond goals, assists or statistics,\u201d Fifelski-Watson said. \u201cWhat makes her truly special is the way she elevates everyone around her every single day. She is the type of player every coach hopes to have in a program because she leads through both her actions and her character.\u201d<\/p>\n
