Post University Athletics

A 2025 inductee into the Post University Hall of Fame, four-year starter Miranda Polaski still holds a myriad of records in the Post University Women's Lacrosse record book since she concluded her playing career a decade ago. Polaski started and played in 53 career games in which she totaled 152 goals and 80 assists for 232 career points, while also netting 237 draw controls, 217 ground balls, and 89 caused turnovers over the course of her career. Polaski was the first Eagle to reach the 100 Point and 200 Point Club in program history and came back to serve as an Assistant Coach from 2019-23. 

Among her records, Polaski holds the single-game free position goals record with four in a game, a mark she reached three times, while twice reaching the second-most single-game assists record with five in both 2013 and 2014. She also has the second-most single-game points with 10, set in 2013, along with tying for the second-most single-game-caused turnovers with a trio of games in which she recorded five from 2013 to 2014, the fourth-most single-game draw controls with 10 set on April 18th, 2015, and still has the single-game record for most ground balls with 12 on April 9th, 2013. All the single-game marks that Polaski was not ranked first in were originally set by her before being broken between 2020-2022.

The same can be said for Polaski's single-season records, which she held first in every category besides free position goals before being overtaken from 2018-2022. In the free position goals category, Polaski sits tied for second in a single season, recording 15 in 2015. As it stands now, she has the fourth-most single-season goals with 49 in 2015 as well as the fourth-most single-season shots that same year with 101. The four-year star still holds three spots on the single-season caused turnovers in second with 32 in 2014, third with 31 in 2014, and fifth with 21 in 2013. The same can be said for her in the single-season points category with 79 in 2014, 69 in 2013, and 61 in 2015. 

Still on top in three categories, Polaski is the single-season leader in assists with 37 in 2014 while also having the second-most in 2013 with 26, the all-time single-season leader in draw controls with 85 in 2015 and third-most in 2014 with 78, and the all-time leader in single-season ground balls with 76 in 2015, in addition to holding second with 70 in 2014 and third with 57 in 2013. 

For a career at Post, Polaski still has the most assists in program history with 80, most ground balls with 217, most caused turnovers with 89, and most draw controls with 237. At the time of her induction, she is still second all-time in free position goals at 34, goals at 152, points at 232, and shots at 296. 

Athletically, her marks gave her CACC All-Conference Second Team nods from 2013-15 as well as ECAC All-Star bids in 2014 and 2015 with the latter year being a Second Team All-Star appearance. Polaski's academic prowess was also one for the record books as she was a three-time CACC All-Academic Team honoree from 2013-15 before being nationally recognized in both 2014 and 2015. Polaski was a Capital One Academic All-Region First Team in 2014 and 2015, a Capital One Academic All-American Third Teamer those same two years, a COSIDA DII At-Large All-American Third Team recipient in 2014 before being First Team in 2015, on the IWLCA Academic Honor Roll in 2014, and an NCAA Woman of the Year Candidate in 2015.
