Sadie Mauro was a kind and loving young woman, and a caring teammate who loved the game of lacrosse. As put by her Mass Elite Directors Kara Connerty and Lisa Parsons, “Sadie arrived to every field with a smile. She brought out the best in all of her teammates and brought a positive energy wherever she went. Sadie’s unwavering support, her selflessness and her dedication to uplifting others will continue to inspire her coaches and teammates, both on and off the field.”
