assists (74) and 10th in caused turnovers (61). Byers was a four-year member of the U.S. Women's National Lacrosse Team. While playing with Team USA, she competed with and played against the best players in the world. Byers’ knowledge of the game, coaching and playing experience, recruiting coordination and contacts, as well as her passion for lacrosse will be invaluable to the Eagle Stix program. We are very lucky to have a coach of Jill Byers caliber as part of our Eagle Stix coaching staff.
