Thanks in part to Millon, there are a lot more young girls dodging defenders than riding horses.
“There have been so many women before me who blazed the trail,” Millon said. “Maybe I was able to pave it, sort of smooth down some of the stuff for them to follow.” Millon’s husband, Mark, the pro lacrosse star and three- time All-American from UMass, was inducted into the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame five years ago. They are the first husband-wife tandem to make it to the Hall of Fame. Their two young sons have grown up knowing about their dad’s exploits, with his jerseys hanging throughout their home.
“And they look great,” Millon said. “But it has been kind of cool to say, ‘Mom’s not chopped liver over here either.’” LM
