Tuesday brought some exciting news for Toms River High School North senior Tatum Coffey as she was one of 18 players selected to the U.S. under-19 women’s national Lacrosse team. Coffey was the only New Jersey player on the final roster announced by US Lacrosse and she will head to Hanover, Germany in August for the 2011 Federation of International World Championships. As a junior last spring she scored 115 goals and added 84 assists on her way to being named the Shore Conference Player of the Year and earning All-State and All-America honors.
Coffey is clearly one of the state’s top overall athletes as her Mariner career has included four years of varsity soccer and three years of Boys Ice Hockey. Recruited by many of the top college lacrosse programs, the 18-year old signed a letter of intent in December to attend Penn State University in the fall and play for first-year coach Missy Doherty.
