From Seattle to Maryville
CitySide alumna Izzy Watts brought her Seattle lacrosse roots to Maryville University. The Roosevelt High School graduate was listed as a sophomore midfielder on the Saints’ 2026 roster during a landmark season for the women’s program.
Izzy had already made an impact as a freshman in 2025, appearing in 19 games and recording 17 goals and four assists. That season included two goals in Maryville’s NCAA Tournament game against Grand Valley State.
A first national final for the Saints
Maryville defeated East Stroudsburg 15–11 on May 21, 2026, to earn the program’s first appearance in the NCAA Division II national championship game.
Two days later in Rochester, New York, the Saints faced Florida Southern for the title. Maryville scored five unanswered goals in the fourth quarter, but its comeback ended in a 9–7 loss. The Saints finished 17–5 and national runner-up.
CitySide is proud to celebrate Izzy and her place in Maryville’s historic season. Her path from Seattle and CitySide to college lacrosse gives our girls another local connection to the game’s biggest stages.
