Behind Caroline Phelps, Rivers looks to surge upward in ISL

Caroline Phelps is locked in at whatever she does.

Case in point, the Rivers School midfielder was living on Cape Cod over the summer and working a retail job to afford gas money, unaware that there was an email from her coach letting her know that she had been named a U.S. Lacrosse All-American.

Entrenched in her work, Phelps did not get the message for two weeks, when she decided to check her school email account.

"I don’t really check my email that much in the summer and she emailed my school email," she explained. "That’s how I found out."

The Natick, Mass., native earned that honor after finishing second in the Independent School League with 49 points (32 goals, 17 assists), which also netted her All-ISL honors as well as the 2017 Coaches Award.
