While some lacrosse players head off to the cold, windy, snowy North to play college lacrosse Erin Bakes is headed to beautiful, sunny, Southern California.  The Ransom Everglades junior midfielder and draw specialist has given her commitment to University of Southern California.  She was the first of what should be over twenty members of the LaxManiax 2018 squad to make an NCAA commitment. “I’d like to thank my teammates for making me a better player everyday. I’d like to thank all of my coaches for getting me to this point and continuing to work with me now to be an impact at the next level. I’d like to thank Chazz Woodson for not only developing me as a better athlete, but a better leader and person. I’d like to thank my dad for being my biggest fan and reminding me to not be afraid to try new things. And lastly I’d like to my mom for pushing me and supporting me throughout the whole process, and being such an inspiration and role model for me.” If you have made a college commitment please click on this link – http://fln.mattplu.com/submit-recruit-info/ and let us know so we can share the great news.
