Historic Moments for Elizabethtown Girls Lacrosse as Danielle Bruno Shatters Scoring Record

ELIZABETHTOWN – Exciting times are buzzing around the Elizabethtown girls lacrosse team, especially after Danielle Bruno etched her name into the program’s history books. This sensational senior recently broke the all-time scoring record, notching an astounding 186 goals to surpass the previous record of 182 goals, previously held by the talented Sarah Leverentz. The record-breaking moment came during an action-packed game against Bishop McDevitt on May 1, 2024, much to the delight of fans and teammates alike.

Bruno didn’t stop there! She shared her joyous milestone just a day later, celebrating with Leverentz after a spirited match against Penn Manor on May 2, 2024. The camaraderie among these athletes demonstrates the strong bonds that form through hard work and dedication on the field.

A Star Player’s Journey

Bruno’s scoring prowess has been nothing short of impressive, with over 70 goals in each of the past two seasons. This year, she decided to switch things up by changing her jersey from No. 15 to No. 1. This shift wasn’t merely cosmetic; Bruno felt that the new number exuded a sense of freshness and even gave her a strategic edge against defenders. With this new number, she believed it would help her fly under the radar as she aimed to evade the opposition.

Since stepping onto the field as a freshman, Bruno has consistently been the primary target for defenders, showcasing her remarkable agility and scoring expertise. Her teammate, Reagan Gober, has often played the role of defender during practice, and she has witnessed firsthand Bruno’s quick maneuvers and the deft ability to switch hands when needed. These skills have made Bruno one of the most formidable players in the game.

Team Spirit and Progress

Despite the challenges faced in earlier seasons, Elizabethtown’s girls lacrosse team has demonstrated impressive growth. In 2021, they faced a difficult season with a record of 0-17. Fast forward to the next season, and they managed to improve to 9-9. With aspirations of competing in the District Three playoffs, spirits are high as they rally around their senior leaders, including Bruno and fellow senior Piper Patrick, who has joined the team to play alongside her long-time friend.

Coach Cheyenne Benson has been instrumental in building the team since this senior class’s arrival. Her focus on developing a strong program has begun to pay off, and the players are responding to her leadership. Patrick, who has been friends with Bruno since kindergarten, credits much of her own improvement to the mentorship and support of Bruno.

Aiming for Greatness

Bruno’s ambitions don’t stop at breaking records; she is eyeing a target of 250 career goals before her time at Elizabethtown comes to a close. With just 64 goals needed this season, her determination and exceptional skills will be put to the test. Following high school, Bruno has plans to continue her athletic journey at West Chester University, demonstrating her commitment to both academics and sports.

Earlier in the season, the team faced Cocalico, where Bruno once again showcased her scoring talent. The rivalry was heightened by the unique connection between the coaches—Kayci Strous and Cheyenne Benson—who share a household, adding another layer of excitement to competitive matchups.

As the Elizabethtown girls lacrosse team gears up for the remainder of the season, all eyes will be on Danielle Bruno as she strives for more milestones and aims to elevate her team to glory. The community is rallying behind these determined athletes, and it’s safe to say the sky’s the limit for Bruno and her team.
