On a meaningful evening at Westminster Christian Academy, the Girls Lacrosse program honored the Class of 2025 prior to their matchup against the Wentzville Lacrosse Club. The pregame Senior Night ceremony celebrated a remarkable group of student-athletes for their dedication, leadership, and impact on the program and school community.

The Wildcats recognized 13 seniors, each of whom has helped shape the culture and spirit of Westminster Lacrosse. Their contributions extended far beyond the field — into the classroom, peer leadership roles, and spiritual life on campus.
