Sachem alum Casey Gelderman was instrumental in establishing an incredibly successful women’s lacrosse team at Pace as a member of the first roster in program history in 2015. For that, she was recently honored with induction into the Pace University Athletic Hall of Fame.
Gelderman, who graduated from Sachem East in 2014, became the first IWLCA All-American in program history, earning the honor as a junior.
She finished her career as the program record holder with 218 career goals, a mark that still stands today, and 252 career points, which is currently second all-time.
At Sachem East she was three-time All-County, and received Academic All-American honors in her 2013 and 2014 seasons. She played volleyball and ran track.
