Meet Rachel Clark, the first 2025 grad drafted for WLL All-Star Game

We’re less than a month away from the Maybelline Women’s Lacrosse League All-Star Game, and there are seven 2025 NCAA college graduates who did not appear in February’s Championship Series making their WLL debuts.

One of those players is Rachel Clark, the Boston College standout who claimed the program’s single-season scoring record this year. With her 103rd goal against Yale in the NCAA quarterfinals on May 15, Clark dethroned Charlotte North, the captain of her WLL All-Star Game squad on Team North who set the former record of 102 scores in 2021.

“One of the best goal scorers we will see in this sport,” North said on the call of the BC-Yale matchup on ESPN.

After advancing to the semifinals, Clark said she didn’t “really have words to explain” what setting the record meant to her. “I’m so grateful for my teammates. I’m so grateful we got this win,” she said.

Clark, who transferred to BC after two years at Virginia, made an instant impact in Chestnut Hill. She started all 22 games in 2024, amassing 101 points (78G, 23A) en route to a national championship victory over Izzy Scane, the captain of the second WLL All-Star squad, and Northwestern. In that title game, Clark recorded five goals and one assist.

In this year’s quarterfinals, Clark posted eight goals. She had three in the team’s final game of the season, a 12-11 squeaker against Northwestern, and finished the season with 106, averaging 4.8 goals per contest.

“I mean, Rachel Clark, the name speaks for itself and what she’s been doing at the college level,” Team North and Boston Guard coach Laurie DeLuca said during the WLL All-Star Game Selection Show. “I know this is very BC-heavy right now, but she’s just dominating college lacrosse.”

Four of the first five All-Star picks were BC alumni, and six of Team North’s first seven picks were Eagles. Team North took Clark with the 13th pick, making her the first 2025 college graduate to be chosen. (DeLuca and Team Scane coach Jen Adams had full autonomy over roster selections.)

The 2025 WLL All-Star Game will be played in the 10-vs.-10 format on July 4 at 8 p.m. ET at CPKC Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. It will air on ESPN2.

North said during the Selection Show she expects Clark to have an “immediate impact.”

“I’m excited to see what she can do on the field at a professional level,” North said. “I think seeing her take over the college landscape, it’s really due to her athleticism, her insanely quick first step, her ability to draw slides and work off of that. She is certainly at the top of everyone’s scouting report this year and I think she’s an ultimate goal-scorer.

“I’m excited to see her balance out the side she likes to operate on in that high alley area with someone like Kenzie Kent, a lefty, who likes to play down low.”
