Favorite Trinity Lacrosse Moment: Well after this weekend it's hard to pick just one. This past weekend was just an amazing experience, beating Amherst for the first time in my four years (first time in 10 years for TrinLax!) in sudden death overtime on the back of two amazing goals by Jenn and CJ, playing in the NESCAC championships for the first time in TrinLax history, also the first championship game of my athletic career and then sitting in West Wings watching the selection show and seeing TRINITY (CONN) come up on the screen. All in all it was an amazing weekend, full of making history and making memories and is definitely my favorite Trinity Lacrosse moment, so far that is!

Favorite Sports Quote: "Impossible is nothing"

Favorite Practice Drill: That's an easy one...20 cones! But continuous 3v2 is a close second, followed by warming up with Anne, obviously!

What Does Trinity Lacrosse mean to you? Trinity Lacrosse for me has been a journey. I have been able to grow as a player into the goalkeeper that I have always wanted to be here. I have been able to grow as a person through sacrifice, hard work, dedication, and the ups and downs here. I have been able to be a part of this program during a really exciting rise in the level of our play and accomplishments that we have achieved. Most importantly to me, however, is that Trinity Lacrosse has meant friendships. The people I have met and the relationships I have formed with teammates over the past four years are the ones I am so thankful to have and ones that I know wouldn't have been possible without TrinLax!
