                 Four athletes from both the softball and lacrosse teams achieved All-Catholic status this spring.  Six seniors, one sophomore and one junior were honored at the championship games for their respective sports.

Seniors Laura Gregory (Buffalo), Allison Rogowski (West Seneca) and Emily Lewandowski (East Aurora) returned to the First Team for softball.  This is the third straight year that Gregory and Rogowski were named as First Team All-Catholics and the second straight year for Lewandowski.  Gregory and Rogowski both pitched and played infield and Lewandowski was the team's second baseman.  All three will continue their playing careers in college.  Also earning All-Catholic honors for the first time was senior Fiona Danahy (Buffalo).  Danahy, a catcher and outfielder, was named a Second Team All-Catholic.

Senior Mary Barnes (Fredonia) and freshman Gracee Donovan (Orchard Park) were both selected as First Team All-Catholics in lacrosse.  Senior Abigail Hillery (Hamburg) and sophomore Sara Geiser were voted Second Team All-Catholics.  It was the first All-Catholic lacrosse honors for all four players.

"Mount Mercy has positively changed my life forever. Through the inviting community, I was able to grow as a woman, as a daughter, as a friend, and as a member of society. Throughout my time here I have gained an education in both academic areas and life in general through the school's ongoing efforts to educate students on gender inequality, racial injustice, and environmental crisis'. Furthermore, Mercy has given me the space to gain confidence that 4 years ago I never would have guessed I would have. Mount Mercy has helped me take that initial step toward becoming the strong woman of color I am today. At Mercy you are more than just a student, you are whoever you wish to be."

"My future, success, and the ability to be an empowered woman in society come from Mount Mercy. My school is a strong foundation for my role in life. From attending Mount Mercy, I can say with confidence, that I will graduate with the mindset that I can accomplish anything. Mercy is my home and my sanctuary to be whoever I want. Mount Mercy has been bringing forth generations of strong intellectual women into the world, and I am more than honored to be one of them. Mercy teaches girls more than academics, but also about the world around us. As a mercy community, we give back to the world because it is our home. From my four years at Mercy, I have been educated on pushing for equality and peace and the understanding that there is no limit to what I can do. I have the confidence to go out in the world and make a difference because being a Mercy girl has given me that opportunity. "

"Mercy is more than just a school. Mercy is my second home and a shoulder to lean on. Mount Mercy has given me the confidence and resources to pursue my passions and make the world a more inclusive place, propelling me to take strides into male-dominated fields. Mercy blessed me with an environment to grow intellectually and in the community, giving me the foundation to make a tangible impact while making lifelong friendships."
