Oudat Sisters, Lana and Yara Featured in Lacrosse Magazine
SPARKS, MD – The University of the District of Columbia's Lana and Yara Oudat are featured in the June 2016 issue of Lacrosse Magazine in a story entitled "Finding Refuge: Oudat Sisters Find Home in Lacrosse" written by Matt Hamilton.
Lana, who graduated from UDC with a BS in Architecture this past May, and Yara, a rising junior defender entering her third season with the Firebirds women's lacrosse program in 2017, fled from Syria with their mother four years ago. As the civil war escalated there, the sisters discovered an unlikely source of solace here. Lacrosse.
