FSU Lacrose head coach Sara Tisdale talked about groundbreaking of lacros facility of women
Sarah Tsdel has earned a reputation as a program builder at the collegiate women’s lacros.
Florida State Lacros worked with the construction of the inaugural team, a major milestone has been achieved in the creation of the latest seminols.
The shovels are in dirt and the land is broken at the team’s lacros-only facility, which is the golf facility of the neighbor FSU and engineering facility on the potsdamer street. The $ 12 million campus which will organize a team club house and a one thousand-seat stadium, the country will have only another female lacros-keval facility, which will be included in the Claimson.
Tisdale said, “Many months of work and many great people who have already put their heart and soul in this project.” “We are grateful to keep commitment to the university and board, and to understand that it is not really for our game, but to add to the great culture that is already present in the Florida state.”
“This feature will play home for amazing games, but the most important thing is that we help build the culture of the program that we want to build here in the state of Florida.”
Tisdale was declared as the first head coach of the program last July. He was successful in East Michigan, Central Michigan and Augustana College, coaching 114–86 records and 34 all-conference fingers.
FSU Athletic Director Michael Alford said the stadium would be “excellent feature”. He said that it is important to give Tisdale to attract talent and give the right resource to get quick success, and the new feature is a part of that.
“She has a vision, and she is so personal and the culture within her team is that she develops, really special, it has a family,” Alford said. “To go out for him and sell this vision, we have got him to provide resources to go out and get the best talent across the country. This is the rule of Florida.”
“We have such a rich tradition in supporting our women’s game … we are going to make things correctly and give them resources to give it success immediately.”

Selling the vision of the program for its first recruitment class, Seminols launched the first five transfer of the program at Gabi Cleveland, Summer Harel, Laghan McAnamara, Lexy Smallin and Olivia Sprinkle, which are all enrolled and in the campus.
The group has been described as “Fab Five”, and Tisdel said that five players believed in the vision that he and FSU were for women’s lacros.
Cleveland has emerged as the face of a leader and roster. He was an all-conference attacker with Oregon before transferring to Ohio state.
He said that the family environment that Tisdale and Alford promoted the program with the construction of the program, which helped them decide to commit to seminels. This is his final year of eligibility.
“This is super cool because you get to see everything together. Obviously, you can come here for bells and whistles when you come to any program, but I committed and I came to FSU for family part and culture,” said Cleveland.
“There is not a day when I wake up when I do not smile and am happy in the campus here.”
Overall, FSU has welcomed 19 players in their roster before its inaugural season in the spring of 2026. Cleveland said that the way Tisdale has been recruited has been a big part of getting talented players in the door, and she stayed in Talhasi for summer to help her coach recruitment.
Cleveland said that she is associated with most of the recruitments coming to the campus, and said that when he spent this spring on the campus, he helps the team to speed up skills before the inaugural game in the New Lacrose facility.
Cleveland said, “It has been something special, I think we are going to take all those bonds when we get married. We are going to be the best friends for life.” “It has been huge after that individual time to work on our basic things and sculpts those small aspects of our game. And it will definitely translate when we play in spring.”
