Saratoga Springs’ Lindsey Frank made a significant transfer for her graduate eligibility year.
Frank, a field hockey and lacrosse player who graduated from Richmond in the spring, transferred to Northwestern this year.
In field hockey, she was a two-time National Field Hockey Coaches Association All-South Region Second Team selection. Last year, she was an Atlantic 10 All-Conference First Team after having a career-high eight goals along with five assists for 21 points. She finished three seasons at Richmond with 50 points on 17 goals and 16 assists in 56 games. Frank has played in the team’s first six games, starting four of them.
Frank is even more prolific in lacrosse, and the midfielder coincidentally joins the national-champion Wildcats. She was an All-American Honorable Mention last season, helping the Spiders earn their first Atlantic 10 championship since 2019. She was named the A10 tournament’s most outstanding player. She had 67 goals and 23 assists, and finished her career with 234 points (164-70), which ranks seventh in school history.
