What is one of your best memories playing lacrosse?

 My best memory playing lacrosse would be my sophomore year winning the championship. That year, we came with a lot of fire, because we had just lost the championship the season before. It was such an honor to play with such a great group of girls and I learned a lot about myself as a player that year. Also, we got a trophy, so that’s pretty cool.

What is the story of how you got into lacrosse?
