118.

8.
That’s the number of consecutive state championships the program has captured.
Vero Beach has owned the state of Florida. Now, they’re looking to expand their territory.
The Fighting Indians are getting set to embark upon a five-day stretch that will see them take on three teams ranked in the top 12 of the Nike/U.S. Lacrosse Top 25 Poll, including the nation’s number one team in McDonogh (MD). For Vero Beach, ranked sixth in the poll, they know if they can string together three straight wins, they could take the program to a once unthinkable height.
To quote Ludacris, they’re coming for that number one spot.
“That’s what we want,” said senior midfielder Olivia Blakeman. “That’s our goal. To be number one in the nation.”
