New Wave Lacrosse

We are thrilled to introduce Gina Fisher as Director of the New Wave Girls Lacrosse Program. As the most decorated women’s lacrosse player in the history of North Central College & with several years of successful club coaching already under her belt, Coach Fisher has the talent & intelligence to bring the New Wave Girls Program to the next level.

And when you look at Fisher’s laundry list of accolades, it’s very clear why that is.

Fisher is the current Career School Record Holder at North Central College in every stat category (save those restricted to goalies) including Goals Scored, Assists, Ground Balls, Draw Controls & Forced Turnovers. She was the #1 NCAA DIII Ground Balls in the entire country (2016) and #4 in Forced Turnovers that same year. You can view Coach Fisher’s entire list of awards below.
