Eloise Lim, Georgia Cunningham, Lucy Voss, Mimi Wesley, Reyna Jiang, Sienna Anderson, and Sophia Ng were all part of Auckland Team Tui.

We hear from Sienna Anderson about her experience: “Playing in Australia was incredible, and being surrounded by such high-level lacrosse made the experience even more special. We had the opportunity to watch the Asia-Pacific Sixes Championships which was incredible as we got to witness the New Zealand Women’s team earn a spot at the 2027 Colorado Olympic qualifiers.

Over the eight days, we were challenged both on and off the field, and it was amazing to see how much we grew as a team. We encouraged each other, learnt from every game and finished strong, winning our final three games to place 9th overall. One of the biggest highlights was having the New Zealand Women’s team come and support one of our games. It was amazing to have them cheering us on and to hear about their experiences playing lacrosse.

I am so incredibly grateful to my coaches and teammates for making this trip possible and so memorable. It was an amazing opportunity to learn, improve and make memories with such a great group of girls, and I’ll always be grateful to have been part of it.” 

Congratulations to all seven students on their Auckland representation and a great end to an incredible season.
