ERIN LEE

From Lee's position as a low attacker, content to spend as much time roaming behind the opponent's goal as she does in front, the vantage point is the best part.
The junior contends she cannot only see the action on the offensive zone develop, she can exert control as well. She can set up the attack and make the crucial pass, and the opportunity to score is always there.
Lee had a prolific offensive week, scoring 12 goals and assisting on six others as the Bears routed Hill-Murray 18-6 and defeated longtime rival Eden Prairie 15-10.
"As a low attacker, I can see the field better," she said. "It makes it easier to pass the ball."
Not to mention, the position doesn't require the long, length-of-the-field runs that come with playing midfield. "That's not my style," Lee said. "I'm more of an analyst, taking everything in and seeing where the ball should go."
For many years, the Blake/Eden Prairie matchup was the premier rivalry in girls' lacrosse. Other programs have caught up, but it remains the biggest game of the season for the Bears.
