When rebuilding the Lycoming College women’s lacrosse team after a 5-10 season in her first year with the program, Kara Reber knew she needed a dynamic goal-scoring player. She found one in Rochester, N.Y. An attacker with a nose for the goal, Megan Wallenhorst made an immediate impact for the Warriors, leading the team with 41 goals as a freshman in 2005, setting the stage for things to come. As a sophomore, she earned her first of three straight All-MAC accolades and was named to the IWLCA All-Metro Region second team, as she finished 16th in the NCAA Division III with 70 goals. During the season, she became just the third player in school history to reach 100 career goals, while also helping the Warriors to a school-record 14 wins and its only appearance in the MAC Championship game in school history. As a junior in 2006, she broke the school’s all-time goals mark set by Brenda MacPhail in 2001 and earned her first of two straight WomensLacrosse.com Third Team All-American honors, while helping the team to another 14-win season. As a senior, she finished her career by scoring 56 goals to help her leave the school with a record 276 points and 233 goals, while earning her third straight All-Metro Region honors and her first IWLCA All-American nod, being placed on the third team. Maybe most impressively, she stretched out a streak of 52 straight games with a goal from her sophomore to senior campaign, the fifth-longest stretch in Division III history. Wallenhorst wrapped up her career by joining teammate Kristina Peacock on the South team at the IWLCA North/South All-Star game, playing for Coach Reber. After helping the team to a 42-24 record during her career, she is still ranked first in school history in six career categories, including goals per game (3.58), game-winning goals (8) and draw controls (172).
