The University of Vermont women’s lacrosse team has brought double the trouble to its opponents with its twin sister duo. Lauren and Lindsay Lefevbre have spent their entire collegiate careers playing on the same team with the Catamounts NCAA Division I program. “It’s a twin thing,” Lindsay Lefevbre said. “I don’t know how else to say it … I know where she is. She just knows where I am without even looking at some points. It honestly just makes me work harder out there when I see her running alongside with me.” “We just grew up playing sports together,” Lauren Lefevbre said. “We tried out for lacrosse, and we always have been on the team. We just do everything together. We love lacrosse, and we kind of stuck with it.” The Lefebvres’ passion for lacrosse stems from their earliest playing days back in their hometown of Marlborough, Massachusetts. The twins played soccer together when they were kids but quickly found their passion for lacrosse. They believe lacrosse matched their desire for a faster-paced game and a great community of athletes to be around. “Just the people and the environment surrounding lacrosse was so much better,” Lauren Lefevbre said. “Soccer, I feel like it’s so intense sometimes. The community with lacrosse was what really brought us over.” Their skillsets caught the eyes of several NCAA programs, with Merrimack College and UVM being two of the higher programs that were recruiting them. Merrimack, located in North Andover, Massachusetts, is located closer to Marlborough, but the twins say they found a second home in Burlington, Vermont. “I like everything about the school,” Lindsay Lefevbre said. “Everything about the people here and the program, it’s just amazing the culture that the players have built here. I’ve never seen a culture like that at any other school, so that’s the biggest part.” Another key influence in committing to UVM was former Vermont women’s lacrosse star Ava Vaslie. The 2023 America East Co-Attacker of the Year and four-time conference all-star played on the same club team as the Lefebvre twins. She also grew up in Milford, less than 20 miles away from Marlborough. “She was a huge influence in our decision,” Lindsay Lefevbre said. “She was a great player, but she was an even better person off the field. … It’s just great to see a player who’s so intense be so lighthearted off the field.” Lauren Lefevbre’s jersey, No. 30, and Lindsay Lefevbre’s jersey, No. 14, also help make it easier to tell each Lefebvre apart on the field, but even sometimes their head coach, Sarah Dalton Graddock, gets a bit stumped trying to tell who is who. “Every now and then they will catch me,” Dalton Graddock said. “I think I finally got it, but I’m still not 100%.”Dalton Graddock recognized the twins’ continuous efforts to improve season after season on the field. By the numbers, the Lefevbres have exceeded or met their season point totals year after year. Lauren Lefevbre has already surpassed career highs in goals (13), assists (nine) and points (22). Lindsay Lefevbre has matched her career high in goals at 11, with one less game played from 2025. Lindsay Lefevbre also played a key role in her senior day game, scoring two goals against the University of Albany. She even connected on her first goal coming off an assist from Lauren Lefevbre. “You got to love that twin connection,” Dalton Graddock said. “Lindsay’s been a quiet leader for us, but has been a true leader for us, just grinding it out.” “Lauren’s done a great job of earning her minutes on the field,” she added. “She’s just a great glue on our offense.” The same day the twins enjoyed a 14-4 win against Albany, they also got to walk on Virtue Field one final time with their parents, receiving framed pictures in their Catamount uniforms and flowers in a postgame senior day ceremony. “It made me emotional,” Lauren Lefevbre said. “It was a good way to wrap it up!” The Lefevbres’ journey in a Catamount uniform is not done quite yet. Vermont still has one final regular-season game before its conference playoffs begin. The Catamounts clinched a berth in the America East tournament for the first time since 2023 after their win against the Great Danes. Vermont is looking to win its first America East championship since 2022. “It would mean everything,” Lindsay Lefevbre said. “We’ve been through so much these past couple of years, and just to finish it out that way would be amazing.” Vermont will take on the University of Massachusetts Lowell before the conference tournament. A Bryant University loss or a UVM win by at least two goals will help the Catamounts clinch the conference’s top seed, marking the first America East regular-season championship title in program history.
