Laura Harmon Schuman has been selected for induction into the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2020.

While not a Long Island native, she is a teacher and coach in the Islip School District and we love that Section XI connection.

The following is from Maryland’s Athletics page:

• Harmon Schuman was a three-time All-American for the Terps who helped lead Maryland to the 1992 and 1995 National Championships.
• The midfielder ended her Maryland career ranked fourth all-time with 150 goals and sixth all-time with 184 points, both marks which still stand top-20 to this day.
• As a captain on Maryland’s 1995 championship team, Harmon Schuman scored 38 goals and was named to the NCAA All-Tournament Team.
• The Havertown, Pa. native would go on to play for the US National Team, helping them win the 1997 World Cup and was selected to the ACC 50th Anniversary Lacrosse Team in 2002.
