The KCD Varsity Girls Lacrosse team won the inaugural KHSAA Girls Lacrosse State Championship on Wednesday, May 21 after defeating Sayre School 18-2 at Martha Layne Collins High School in Shelbyville, KY.
The win marks the Girls Lacrosse Bearcats’ fourth state title in five years, and the program’s 11th state championship win overall.
“I’m just super proud of this team because we really showed a lot of growth throughout the season,” said Head Coach Patrick McAnulty. “We took some tough losses to some really strong out-of-state teams and it was really humbling … and it helped us to be our best at the end, when it counted.”
Individual athletes were also honored at the ceremony following the game. Ellie Beam ’26 and Izzie Maki ’26 were named to the 2025 All-Tournament Team, and Christine Martin ’26 was named Tournament MVP!
“We had great leadership from all of our players … they just really grew as a team, and really came together, and it was a fun, fun season,” stated McAnulty.
Way to go, Bearcats!
