MIA RAPOLLA
Girls’ lacrosse
When Mia Rapolla has the ball on the lacrosse field, watch out.
The Gorham senior was the state’s leading scorer as a junior and elevated her game even further this year, helping the players around her improve. Her shooting ability is second to none, but combined with her game sense and sheer competitiveness, Rapolla stands out among the state’s best.
Gorham was knocked out of the playoffs in the Western Class A semifinals, but Rapolla finished the season with 88 goals and 13 assists.
Rapolla has accepted a scholarship to play lacrosse at the University of Massachusetts.
