Emily Olsen will be one of the first members of the newest Army D1 program - Women's Lacrosse at West Point. The Women's Lacrosse program will begin it's first season in the Patriot league in 2016, Emily's plebe year.

Emily's cousin, Captain Bo Olsen was a 2008 West Point graduate, and a member of the ARMY football team.


She was selected by US Lacrosse as a 2014 Academic All American, she is a four year HS starter on defense and Captain of her HS lacrosse & basketball teams. She was also considering several Ivy league schools.

As of today she joins about 11 other recruits for the Class of 2019 team. West Point already has a Women's Lacrosse Club team, which will build the program quickly.

Olsen's cousin is also Carolina Panthers TE, Greg Olsen.
 
New Jersey Proud and congrats to Emily and the Olsen family!
 
Clearly a nice addition to the Army's Women's Lacrosse program, as Emily comes from a very accomplished family in and out of the sports arenas. In addition to Army, Emily was also considering both Yale and Princeton.

For those who don't follow women's lacrosse, this is a time of transition for the program. Back in June, Kristen Waagbo Named First Army Women's Lacrosse Head Coach.
 
Welcome to the Long Gray Line, Emily. Looking forward to watching the women out there playing lacrosse,
