So she probably wants to go somewhere she can win.

Halfpenny has been a disaster. Horrible post-season record. Middling regular-season record.

Swarbrick took the poor advice of a recently promoted secretary who knew nothing about women's lacrosse when he fired Tracy Coyne, and they pompously and naively thought they could hire a big-time coach to win championships. Instead no one wanted the job, and they were stuck with Halfpenny, who has done less with more than Coyne ever had.

But don't hold your breath waiting for Swarbrick to admit his bungling of the women's lacrosse program.

And transfers to a bitter rival, that raises lots of questions.
Of course there could be legitimate reasons - UNC graduate school offerings, chance to win a NC, change of scenery, etc. - but you don't usually see this occurring with one of your best players.

So, of course, this makes you question the coaching staff and what is going on
Good Points All. Luckily, Deehan and Howe....

are also graduated and decided to come back for an extra year at Notre Dame.
Having an All-American goalie return when most of your defense will be new(er), is good thing. And Howe is so freaking tough: working with Jackie Wolak and Madison Ahearn for another year at attack (and Choma at middie) is a godsend.
