Inducted as a truly great player, Brennan was a member of the U.S. National Team from 1953 to 1968, including a spot on the undefeated 1957 touring team to Great Britain and Ireland. She was also selected for the 1969 tour to Australia, but was unable to attend due to occupational obligations. Her club career stretched over two decades (1947 to 1969) with the Boston Women’s Lacrosse Association and she also had a distinguished career as a coach and official. She served as a head coach at Lesley College, Cambridge School of Weston, Brandeis University and Cambridge High & Latin. She was a nationally-rated umpire and served in that capacity for 20 years. She was inducted into the Boston University Athletics Hall of Fame in 2001.
