'I'm incredibly competitive': How a once obscure law gave local women their turn

"Player of the Week!" Hofstra University online news congratulated Maizie Osteen, a lacrosse player from Charlottesville, during this spring's season.

The gushing continued game after game: "Osteen made seven saves." "Osteen had a spectacular 4.15 goals against average." "Led by Osteen's strong play in net, Hofstra held William & Mary to just 2-10 shooting."

Later this month, after graduation caps this standout collegiate athletic career, the Charlottesville High School graduate heads across the ocean to join the Welsh national lacrosse team. A year from now, she will play in the World Cup in Prague.
