Welcome to the home of the Upper Arlington High School Women's Lacrosse Team.

The UAHS Women's Lacrosse Program began in 1983 under the sponsorship of UAHS faculty member and Coach Pete Corey. Wendy Gallapoo then led the UA Women’s LAX program as head coach for fifteen years and three State Champion titles. Coach Gallapoo built the program at Upper Arlington and established a reputation throughout the state and the Midwest as the team to beat. Upon her retirement in 2007, the team wondered how she would ever be replaced.

Lynda McCandlish, UAHS & Northwestern University graduate, took over as head coach in 2008. Coach McCandlish played on two National Championship teams at Northwestern. Northwestern’s style of play that smothers opponents by pressuring players everywhere on the field was evident in the Golden Bears’ new game plan. In her first season as Head Coach at Upper Arlington, Coach McCandlish won the State Championship. Lynda McCandlish also made history by being a State Champion as both a UA player (2002) and as an Upper Arlington head coach.

Since 1993, nineteen UAHS players have earned All-American distinction, and many others have been honored with All-Ohio and All-League awards.
