Under Catanzaro, the Foresters have grown from an infant program that won four games in its inaugural season to a threat to win the not only their division, but the entire Great Lakes Lacrosse League in 2008. In addition to their performance level, the Foresters have recruited players from across the United States to compete at the Midwestern school. Players hailing from such perennial lacrosse powers as Kent High School (Denver, Colorado), Chaminade Prep (St. Louis, MO), The Vermont Academy, and the Brentwood Academy (California) among others.
