She would like to share her talents and love of lacrosse with our community." Coach Russo had this to say about returning to her alma mater: “I am extremely excited to be back at Merion Mercy as a part of the lacrosse program. As an alum, I know what it means to be a Merion girl, and I know how hard working this group of girls will be. While I am here, I hope to work with the players, coaches, and athletic department to foster a team full of pride, spirit, and positive energy."
