Grand Valley State women’s lacrosse coach Mackenzie Lawler was inducted into the Okemos High School Hall of Fame earlier this month.

Lawler spent four years with the program from 2007-2010 and led the team to back-to-back state titles in her final two seasons.

Lawler enters her second season at the helm of the women’s lacrosse program. Last year, she led the Lakers to an impressive 14-4 record and a GLIAC tournament championship game appearance.
