Athletes Unlimited Lacrosse returns three Boston College grads to the roster for the upcoming 2023 season. Midfielder Dempsey Arsenault, defender Courtney Taylor and attacker Kenzie Kent all signed to compete with the league this summer.

They join fellow BC alums Charlotte North and Sam Apuzzo on the roster.

Arsenault is entering her third year with the league as one of the leading midfielders the past two seasons. In 2022 she finished No. 6 overall on the leaderboard and has been a captain for multiple weeks. She tied for fourth in the league in total win points and ranked in the top 10 in the stat point category.

Arsenault also tied with Marie McCool for total ground balls in 2022, recording 33. Across her two seasons, she’s registered 31 career goals in 22 games at AU.

As an Eagle, Arsenault ranks 10th in Boston College history with 215 career points. She competed for BC from 2016-2019.

Kent jumped up the leaderboard year-to-year to finish this past season as No. 19 overall. She is second in AU Lacrosse career points behind Sam Apuzzo with 78 scored. This season she scored at least one goal in 11-of-12 games and her impact on teams as an attacker was felt; Kent was the third-highest MVP points earner with 135 total in 2022.

She accumulated 131 goals with a school-record 133 assists during her lacrosse career at BC where she played from 2015-2019.

Taylor was one of the 15 players selected in the AU Lacrosse College Draft and started her pro career with the league in 2022. She had a successful debut, finishing in 11th place on the leaderboard. Taylor caused 17 turnovers last season, the third-most out of all defenders. She recorded four caused turnovers in a game three times

Taylor transferred to Boston College as a graduate student from Temple and was a starter in all 22 games.

Tickets are on sale now for the start of the season on July 20 at USA Lacrosse Headquarters in Sparks Glencoe, MD.
