CANTON, OH – Culver-Stockton College is proud to announce that our very own Lacrosse Coach, Caitlin Erickson, will be competing in the Women's Football Alliance (WFA) Pro National Championship game with the St. Louis Slam Women's Tackle Football Team. The game will take place on Saturday, July 27, at 4:00 PM CST at the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio, and will be aired on ESPN2.
This championship game marks Caitlin’s 5th appearance in her illustrious football career, having previously secured victories in 2016, 2017, and 2019. Her outstanding performance on the field has earned her the title of WFA First Team All-American Center for the fourth consecutive year. With 14 seasons of experience since she began playing in 2011, Caitlin’s dedication and athleticism continue to shine both on the lacrosse field and the football field.
Joining Caitlin on the St. Louis Slam is fellow Culver-Stockton College alumna, Maddie Jo Embree, class of 2016. Maddie Jo, who excelled in both basketball and softball during her time at Culver, now plays as a defensive end for the Slam and has been a valuable team member for the past two years.
Culver-Stockton College takes immense pride in the achievements of our alumni and staff. The participation of Coach Erickson and Maddie Jo Embree in this prestigious event is a testament to their hard work, dedication, and athletic prowess. We wish the St. Louis Slam the best of luck in the championship game and look forward to cheering on our Wildcats!
