The Northwestern women’s lacrosse team has one of the most prolific offenses in the sport. With girls like Izzy Scane and Lauren Gilbert the Wildcat’s offense average 20 goals per game in 2021.
Going up against that level of competition on a daily basis in practice has been a great thing for Senior goalie Madison Doucette.
As Madison prepares for her upcoming senior year at Northwestern, she joins the podcast to discuss her path to get to this point. Her mindset, her beginning, the way she thinks about goalie.
That path included a gold medal with the U19 USA women’s team that won the 2019 World Championship played in Ontario, Canada.
That path also included coming out as a gay athlete in her well written story at USA Lax Magazine about following your path.
“I field any and all questions they shoot my way. They may be silly, even uncomfortable, but anything that normalizes queerness is worth the conversation” says Madison.
Don’t worry, I only ask her one silly question about the topic.

Lacrosse is my passion! The game has given me so much and this blog is my way of giving back to the lax community. Specifically the most bad a$$ part of that community - the goalies! After learning to play goalie from scratch, I wanted to create a site where I could share what I learned with others so they too can become champions in the crease and in life.
