Bio

Childs was a four-year player for Elms in both lacrosse (2005-08) and women’s soccer (2004-07) and was a member of the women’s basketball team in 2004-05.

Childs enters the hall of fame as one of the most decorated women’s lacrosse players in program history. The program’s all-time leader in goals scored (144) and points scored (162), Childs led the team in goals scored in three of her four years including marks of 60 goals as a freshman and 37 as a senior.

In 2005, Childs began her career as the co-rookie of the year in the highly competitive New England Women’s Lacrosse Alliance (NEWLA) and was also a First Team All-NEWLA selection. During her freshman season, the Blazers finished 9-6 – the program’s best season since 1999 – and led Elms to a runner-up finish in the NEWLA Championship tournament. Childs was also named First Team All-NEWLA as a sophomore in 2006 and again as a senior in 2008.

On the soccer pitch, Childs anchored a stellar defensive unit but also provided an offensive presence scoring five goals and four assists (14 points) during her career. Childs also had a brief stint between the pipes and made nine saves, and in 2006, helped the Blazers set the program record for wins in a single season with 14.
