ORLANDO, Fla. – On Nov. 20, the Randolph-Macon women's lacrosse team was presented the Division III Community Service Award by the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA).

The award was given at the 2014 IWLCA Honors Dinner on Day 2 of the IWLCA-Nike Annual Meeting in Orlando.

R-MC head coach MK Geratowski (pictured on right with Crysti Foote and Kellie Young of Division I winner Louisville) accepted the award on behalf of the Yellow Jackets.

The purpose of the Team Community Awareness Award is to recognize an entire team that has contributed significantly to its community in a given year.

In October, members of the R-MC women's lacrosse team participated in the Community Connections Club meeting at Duncan Memorial Church in Ashland. The Yellow Jackets described the game of lacrosse, talked about their team and gave a demonstration before the group members tried some of the equipment.

In 2013, the Yellow Jackets joined the Community Connections Club for its “Lunch Buddy” program. The ladies assisted with the group members eating lunch on campus at the Estes Dining Hall.
