2019 IWLCA Academic Honor Roll
SENIOR (2020): Wolf started in all five games for the Buffs, recording four caused turnovers and two draw controls. She was called upon to markup some of the top opponent attackers as the Buffs played a pair of top-25 teams in the first three games of the season, No. 14 Florida and No. 14 Michigan. In CU’s home opener against Harvard (2/21), Wolf led CU with a career-high three caused turnovers, helping the Buffs to their first win of the season. CU would finish the short season 3-2.
JUNIOR (2019): After being a defensive reserve for two seasons, Wolf’s patience paid off as she earned a starting role for the Buffs. Her play helped the Buffs hold their opponents to 10.26 goals per game, which was the 23rd best mark in the NCAA. Wolf recorded 30 ground balls, 13 caused turnovers and 12 draw controls for the Buffs. She tallied a career-best five ground balls twice, once against Stanford (3/8) and again versus Stanford (4/26) in the Pac-12 Tournament Semifinal game. Wolf also stepped into the draw circle for the Buffs on occasion and won a career-best five against Stanford (4/12). Her career-high in caused turnovers was two, which she did four times.
SOPHOMORE (2018): Wolf played in four games during her sophomore season, which included her first career start against No. 6 Florida (5/13) in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. She also saw action in games against Cal and Arizona (twice).
FRESHMAN (2017): Wolf played in one game as a reserve defender. The freshman saw action in the win over Winthrop on March 15.
HIGH SCHOOL: Wolf graduated from Kentucky Country Day School in 2016, where she was a five-year letter winner in lacrosse, field hockey, cross country and track. In lacrosse, she earned All-America, all-state and defender of the year honors. She led her team to the state tournament four times, including championships in 2015 and 2016.
IN THE CLASSROOM: Wolf graduated in May 2020 with a degree in strategic communication. She had an emphasis in advertising and a minor in communication.

She enjoys horse racing and her father is well-known in professional horse racing as a breeder. Her family owns a share of Justify, which won the Triple Crown in 2018. Wolf chose CU for the education, location and lacrosse program.
