The mens? lacrosse world has been graced with the Gait brothers and the Powell family.
But now the womens? lacrosse field is becoming an extension of the family in Maryland.
The Loyola College women’s lacrosse team holds an extreme case.
The Greyhounds have two sets of twins on the roster: freshmen Meg and Mary Clare Taylor, and seniors Chrissy and Cindy Nicolaus.
They room together, play together, and experience the ups and downs of college athletics together.
Cindy Nicolaus has been sick and out of action, while Meg Taylor sported a hefty ice pack recently: she was told she has a stress fracture in her lower right leg.
Meg and Mary Clare came to Loyola with their sights set on bolstering the Greyhounds? attack.
Chrissy Nicolaus is an attacker, and Cindy tends the goal.
They are not the only sister acts in Maryland.
Laura and Sarah Wilkin play together at Maryland-Baltimore County, while Lauren and Ashley Schwarzmann are paired up at Johns Hopkins. Connie and Kerrie Wuenschel compete for McDaniel. Maryland boasts Jen and Kate Greenberg, and Martha and Kearny Raver. Finally, the Kasper sisters are with different teams: Kelly at Maryland and Jen at UMBC.
