Murray lacrosse star signs with NAIA power
How big is lacrosse in Utah? College coaches are starting to look at the Beehive State for recruits, even though lacrosse is not sanctioned by the Utah High School Activities Association.

Prediction: It will be by 2010.

Just received a notice that the "other" Notre Dame has signed a Utahn to play college lacrosse.

Murray High's Aleisha Matsuura has signed with Notre Dame College of South Euclid, Ohio, an NAIA school with a powerful women's lacrosse program.

At Murray, Matsuura was the team captain for the school's club team for three years, playing defender for the Spartans. She is a two-time first-team All-American and a first-team All-Utah selection.

As a senior, Matsuura amasses 100 groundballs, 11 interceptions and 37 caused turnovers.

The NDC lacrosse team went 12-4 last season and had a nine-game winning streak.
