Mass. The college to which a local lacrosse star had committed is “heartbroken” by last weekend’s deadly Cape Cod boating accident. <\/p>\n
Sadie Mauro, a senior at Dover-Sherborn High School, was one of six passengers aboard a boat that struck a Cold Storage Beach pier around 9 p.m. Friday night. Dive teams recovered Sadie’s body hours later.<\/p>\n
Mauro was an outstanding lacrosse player and committed to play lacrosse at Gettysburg College in 2024. <\/p>\n
“We are heartbroken to learn of the passing of Sadie Mauro, who verbally committed to attend and play lacrosse at Gettysburg College in 2024,” said Gettysburg women’s lacrosse coach Charlotte Cunningham. <\/p>\n
Cunningham says Mauro was an exceptional student, athlete and person that the university was thrilled to have join its program. <\/p>\n
“This has been an unimaginable loss, and our team and the Gettysburg community keep Sadie’s family and friends in our thoughts and prayers as they mourn the loss of a daughter, sister, teammate and friend,” Cunningham added. <\/p>\n
Mauro joined the Mass Elite Lacrosse team club about 5 years ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe never took himself too seriously, he had a great sense of humor. It always changed something from a negative to a positive,\u201d said Leslie Frank, one of Mauro’s lacrosse coaches at Mass Elite Lacrosse.<\/p>\n
Dover-Sherborn school leaders will have a crisis response team with grief counselors available Monday in the high school library from 10 a.m. to noon for anyone who needs that extra support during this difficult time.<\/p>\n
