Lacrosse Season 4: Week 2 Draft Dots

Here is a list of notes and tidbits related to the AU Pro Lacrosse Week Two draft.

• Goalkeeper Taylor Moreno enters her ninth consecutive week as a team captain, but will be wearing a color other than Gold for the first time as a team leader when she dons the Blue jersey … It is the first time Moreno has worn a jersey other than Gold or Orange in her career. 
• Attacker Sam Apuzzo will be wearing the Purple jersey for just the third time in her four-year Athletes Unlimited Pro Lacrosse career … Week Two will mark the first time she has donned the Purple top since Week Three of the inaugural 2021 campaign. 
• Apuzzo also embarks on her 10th consecutive stint as a team captain, carrying a 20-7 all-time mark as a team captain into Week Two … She is also the league’s all-time leader with 26 overall victories. 
• Apuzzo’s 10 career weeks as a captain are tied for second among all Athletes Unlimited athletes in any sport … Guard Odyssey Sims (basketball) holds the all-time mark with 11 weeks as a team captain, while outside hitter Bethania De La Cruz (volleyball) follows in second place with 10 weeks as a captain. 
• Goalkeeper Britt Read, who is making her fifth career weekly appearance as a captain, joins fellow netminder Kady Glynn as the only players in league history to serve as a team captain in every season. 
• Read will be wearing the Orange jersey for the sixth time in her AU Pro Lacrosse career, including two of the last three weeks. 
• Midfielder Marie McCool becomes the 19th player in Athletes Unlimited Pro Lacrosse history to serve as a team captain after finishing the opening week with a league-high 443 leaderboard points … McCool will also be wearing the Gold jersey for the seventh time in her AU Pro Lacrosse career, the most of any jersey color. 
• Rookie attacker Izzy Scane was the first overall selection for a second consecutive week and will also wear Purple for the second week in a row … The NCAA’s all-time goal-scoring leader is just the second player to be selected first overall in back-to-back weeks … Attacker Sam Apuzzo was the top pick in Week Two and Week Three during the inaugural 2021 campaign. 
• Defender Caroline Wakefield sports the Gold jersey for the sixth consecutive week and wears the color for the ninth time in her career … She has worn Gold more than any other player in Athletes Unlimited Pro Lacrosse history, surpassing Taylor Moreno’s eight instances … Catcher Dejah Mulipola is the only player to wear the Gold jersey more than Wakefield, doing so 10 times during her AU Pro Softball Championship Season career.
