Hannah Lisauskas remembers being five years old and watching her brother Jake play lacrosse at Pinkerton Academy.
He was All-American before playing four years and serving as a captain at Division 1 UMass Amherst.
Younger sister Lauren then followed. She put up 249 points in three years (losing a year with the pandemic) for the Astros and was named a two-time All-American.
A year after Lauren left to play for Div. 1 Georgetown University, it was Hannah’s turn to cause some havoc in the Granite State.
“My freshman year, I was so excited to come to Pinkerton. I wanted to make an impact right away,” said Hannah.
She certainly has done that.
On Wednesday afternoon, the senior broke the school record for most points in a game with six goals and seven assists in the team’s 16-8 win over Hanover.
Her combined 13 points in this game also put her in elite company becoming just the third player in history to surpass 300 career points.
Lisauskas jumped over Maggie McCarthy (307) to second all-time, trailing Megan O’Reilly, who finished with 338 back in 2002.
“Hannah has had a great career as a scorer and a feeder,” said head coach Katie Blair. “She’s made an impact since she has stepped on the field as a freshman. I think it’s fitting she broke 300 career points along with the school single game points record in the same day.”
Hannah is also in elite company when it comes to the classrooms.
Class President all four years.
National Honor Society member with a 4.0 (weighted) GPA.
A member of the school’s athletic leadership board.
This fall, she will be attending the University of Notre Dame to study business.
She won’t, however, become the third member of her family to play Div. 1 collegiate lacrosse.
“It’s a privilege to follow in the footsteps of my brother and sister. I love being the youngest because I have two amazing people to follow,” she said, also noting that she broke the program’s record for all-time assists during last year’s season.
“They both have paved such a good path for me. They are my role models and people I look up to. It was a big decision for me not to play college lacrosse, but my parents were so supportive with the decision and knew that it was best for me.”
Her mother and father were on-hand Wednesday to watch Pinkerton Academy lacrosse history not once, but twice, including assisting on Delaney Summers’ goal for career point number 300.
“It just means the world to me that I can be hitting these milestones with my biggest supporters around me, especially my dad on the sidelines,” she said.
“That’s pretty cool and exciting.”
