GRACE MOORE LEE CLASS OF 2004

S OCCER / B ASKETBALL / L ACROSSE

A twelve-letter winner and top scholar in her four years at Lawrence Academy, Grace was an outstanding three-sport athlete. She excelled in soccer, basketball, and lacrosse, and captained all three teams in her senior year.

Grace started at center-midfield in soccer, a position that allowed her to play two-way soccer and capitalized on her ability to distribute the ball. She earned All-League recognition in her junior and senior seasons and led the team to ISL and NEPSAC Championships in her junior year. In basketball, her coaches maximized her defensive skills and tenacity, often assigning Grace to defend the opposing team’s top player. As a ninth grader, lacrosse was a brand-new sport for Grace. Determined to excel, she transferred her speed and agility to the required stickwork and quickly became the starting center for the remainder of her career, gaining All-League, All-New England All-Star, and Most Valuable Player honors. She was inducted into the Cum Laude Society junior year and was awarded the Richmond Baker Prize and the Ferguson Prize for Leadership at graduation.

Grace went on to Bowdoin College, where she led the women’s soccer and lacrosse programs on and off the field for four years as a starting defender and senior captain. At center back in soccer, Grace harnessed her unrelenting determination and exceptional athleticism to shut down opposing offenders, garnering All-New England and All-NESCAC honors. She was voted the team’s MVP as a junior and the Unsung Hero as a senior. An even more decorated college lacrosse player, Grace’s defensive prowess inspired her lacrosse coach to rename the term “face-guarding” to “Grace-guarding,” and she used her speed and versatility to score several goals in transition each season. Grace was celebrated as an All-American, All-Region, and AllNESCAC lacrosse player. Grace was also recognized with All-Academic Honors throughout her collegiate athletic career. In 2008, Grace was named NESCAC Woman of the Year for her tremendous accomplishments in athletics, academics, leadership, and community service. She graduated Magna Cum Laude.

Grace is now a nurse practitioner in the San Francisco area, where she lives with her husband and two daughters. In her post-collegiate days, she continues to pursue athletic endeavors. She has run five marathons, qualifying for Boston in 2011 and 2014, where she ran a remarkable race, finishing in 3:04.

Congratulations, Grace, on being inducted into the Class of 2024 LA Athletic Hall of Fame!
