Elon, N.C. – Elon University Lacrosse Head Coach Josh Hexter has announced a quartet of team captains for the 2023 season. Seniors Julia Dalmass and Ellie Stricker, and juniors Kailee Follette and Mikaela Buoscio have earned captain status for the squad.
 
"I am so thankful for this group of captains," Hexter said. "Each of them brings something a little different to the table in their leadership styles, but all of them have the same fire and passion to want to be great, and will accept nothing short of the effort it takes to do that."
