Girls Lacrosse Athlete of the Year - Cailin Young
Graduated senior Cailin Young was a crucial element in the Tartans' spectacular 2018 championship season. Leading St. Margaret's through the U.S. Lacrosse postseason, Young was named the MVP of the Orange County Playoffs with a 12-goal and one-assist performance over four games. A two-time U.S. Lacrosse All-American and 2018 U.S. Lacrosse Orange County Player of the Year, Young is credited as a major part of the Tartans’ success by head coach Holly Reilly, "In her senior year, Cailin played with quiet confidence and determination. The Tartans’ success this season was a direct result of Cailin's leadership and execution on the field. I cannot think of a more deserving player of OC Varsity Girls Lacrosse Player of the Year."
This fall Young will take her talents to NCAA Div. I San Diego State University to play lacrosse for the Aztecs.

Girls Lacrosse Coach of the Year - Holly Reilly
Tartan head coach Holly Reilly took a gamble on a new defensive scheme to lead St. Margaret's to its first U.S. Lacrosse Southern Section Championship since 2008. With an 18-1 record and the postseason hardware to back it up, the new zone defense worked. Reilly, a defensive player and 2008 and 2009 All-American at Princeton University and member of the 2009 and 2013 U.S. Women's National Lacrosse Teams, has been instrumental to the Tartans’ return to prominence in girls lacrosse.
