That same year, Lavelle scored 15 goals and scored a total of 38 points for her team. At the end of her high school career, Lavelle led her team in number of goals scored, totaling 57. This lead Lavelle to being rewarded NSCAA All-Region her junior and senior year of high school and first-team all-state honors.
