She became the program’s career goals leader against Flagler on 18 March 2026 before completing her ERAU career with 177 goals and a second record of 139 ground balls.

Bedford Prepared Enners for Division II Lacrosse
Enners attended Bedford High School in New Hampshire, where she established the foundation for her college career. She received All-State recognition in 2022 and appeared on USA Lacrosse’s list of New Hampshire girls’ lacrosse All-Americans in 2023.
She also competed for Granite State Elite before entering college. Embry-Riddle announced in December 2022 that she had signed a National Letter of Intent to join its women’s lacrosse program for the 2023–24 academic year.
After graduating from Bedford in June 2023, she moved directly into the Eagles’ midfield. That transition quickly led to a substantial role rather than a season spent working toward the starting line-up.
Her Freshman Production Made an Immediate Impact
Enners started all 18 games during her freshman season in 2024. She led Embry-Riddle with 62 goals, 82 points, 114 shots, 87 draw controls and 49 ground balls.
Her production extended across scoring, possession, and ground-ball work. Within the Sunshine State Conference, she ranked among the leading players in several categories, including goals, points, shots, draw controls and ground balls per game.
Conference coaches selected her as a First-Team All-SSC midfielder and named her the 2024 SSC Freshman of the Year. She became the first Embry-Riddle women’s lacrosse player to receive that freshman award.
National Recognition Followed Her First College Season
The conference awards were followed by regional and national recognition. The IWLCA placed Enners on its First-Team All-South Region roster and selected her as a Third-Team Division II All-American.
USA Lacrosse also included her among its 2024 Division II All-Americans, giving her an honorable-mention selection. Both national selections followed a freshman season in which she scored 62 goals and led Embry-Riddle in five statistical categories.
Her ffirstyear therefore supplied more than a single statistical breakthrough. It began a three-season sequence in which she would repeatedly earn conference, regional and national honors.
Enners Sustained Her Success in 2025
The following season brought another full schedule in Embry-Riddle’s starting midfield. Enners appeared in and started all 21 games, leading the Eagles in goals for a second consecutive year.
She finished 2025 with 59 goals and nine assists for 68 points. Her wider contribution included 54 ground balls, 92 draw controls and four game-winning goals.
Conference coaches again selected her for the All-SSC First Team. She also earned a second consecutive IWLCA First-Team All-South Region place.
Her national recognition improved from the previous season. Both USA Lacrosse and the IWLCA named her a Second-Team Division II All-American, moving her above her 2024 placements with each organization.
A Flagler Game Produced Her Career Goals Record
Enners entered the 2026 season close to several Embry-Riddle career marks. The goals record fell during a home game against top-ranked Flagler on 18 March.
Her first goal of the fourth quarter was the 142nd of her career and moved her beyond the previous program record. She added two more before the end of the game and finished the afternoon with 144 career goals.
The same contest produced another personal milestone when she recorded her 200th career draw control. Although Embry-Riddle lost 19–12, the game marked the point at which Enners became the program’s career goals leader.
Her total continued to rise during the remainder of the season, so the 144 goals recorded after the Flagler game represented an interim figure rather than her final ERAU total.
Her Lander Performance Brought a National Weekly Award
Eight days after setting the career goals record, Enners delivered one of her strongest individual performances against Lander. She tied Embry-Riddle’s single-game record with eight goals in a 19–8 victory on 26 March.
She added an assist to finish with nine points and collected eight ground balls. She also recorded three caused turnovers and two draw controls.
That game formed part of a three-match week in which she accumulated 14 goals, four assists, 12 draw controls, 11 ground balls and five caused turnovers. Embry-Riddle won all three contests.
USA Lacrosse named her its Division II National Player of the Week on 31 March. She was the first player from Embry-Riddle to receive that specific USA Lacrosse national weekly award.
Her Final ERAU Season Added More National Honors
Enners completed the 2026 campaign with 56 goals and 65 points, leading Embry-Riddle in both categories. She also led the team with three game-winning goals and 15 free-position goals.
Her conference consistency continued with a third consecutive First-Team All-SSC selection. The IWLCA placed her on the All-South Region First Team for another season, while the SSC also included her on its All-Tournament Team.
USA Lacrosse and the IWLCA each selected her as a Second-Team Division II All-American. Those honors meant that both organizations had recognized her nationally in every season she played for Embry-Riddle.
By the end of the campaign, she had extended the career goals record to 177. She also left ERAU as its career leader in ground balls with 139. These totals apply specifically to her three confirmed seasons with Embry-Riddle.
Aviation Progressed Alongside Her Lacrosse Career
Enners studied Aeronautical Science while competing for the Eagles. Embry-Riddle reported in June 2026 that she had graduated with a 3.73 GPA.
Her academic record included consecutive selections to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Women’s At-Large Team. The award considers performance in competition and the classroom, with eligibility requirements that include at least a 3.50 cumulative GPA.
The IWLCA also included her on its 2025–26 Division II Academic Honor Roll. Its listing associated her with Aeronautical Science and Business Administration, although Embry-Riddle identified Aeronautical Science as her completed degree.
Enners provided a direct indication of her professional plans in a LinkedIn post. She said she had earned her commercial pilot’s license and viewed the achievement as part of her commitment to a long-term aviation career. She also credited instructor Jackson Gill for his guidance and mentorship during her development as a pilot.
Enners Left a Record-Setting Legacy at Embry-Riddle
Enners moved from an All-State and high-school All-American career in New Hampshire to an immediate starting role at Embry-Riddle. She led the Eagles in five categories as a freshman, remained their leading scorer, and received conference and national recognition in each of her three seasons.
Her ERAU career concluded with records in goals and ground balls, three First-Team All-SSC selections, and repeated All-American honors. Her Aeronautical Science degree and stated aviation plans added a documented professional direction beyond her college lacrosse achievements.
