From Maroon to Huskie blue

AUBURN - Auburn girls lacrosse recently developed a new beginning to its program, while celebrating the decision and hard work already put into it by senior Kaitlyn Aldrich. Thursday, she signed her letter of intent to attend the University of Connecticut to play lacrosse.

Joining Aldrich in the ceremony at the Auburn High School library was the Maroons' new head coach Dick Lighton. Lighton leaves behind a 12-year legacy at Bishop Ludden and was introduced as Amy Spin's replacement before the signing.

“I fit into this program,” Lighton said. “It's something I wanted whether it had been here or at a junior college. They have great athletes that love the game. I wanted to be able to teach them the nails and screws of the game.”
