Edina senior Cooper Anderson still pictures the scoreboard from his team’s 2024 Section 6 championship loss to Eden Prairie. The defeat helped fuel Anderson’s offseason work as he vowed never to repeat that feeling in his Hornets career.

The 6-foot-4 offensive midfielder, who will play Division I lacrosse at Providence College next spring, demonstrated his prowess as one of Minnesota’s purest playmakers in a standout senior season. Just three years after Edina finished 5-9 in 2022, Anderson led the Hornets to their first state championship. That helped Anderson become the Star Tribune’s All-Minnesota Player of the Year in boys lacrosse.
