I had thought that I was no longer going to play lacrosse. I thought that the I was done with the sport for a while. While my lacrosse team had helped me a lot at STAC, there were some things that weren’t so great about it. I didn’t want to go through the same thing again, and I was scared. Yet, I had felt like I was missing something the entire Fall 2020 semester.

My dad pushed me to join the team. “It’s okay if you try it. If you don’t like it, then you can be done,” I remember him telling me over the Christmas Break.

I had a meeting with Coach Estabrook during that break, and then things started rolling from there. The women on the team were so friendly to me, as everyone was so accepting. I’m so glad that I joined the team. It keeps me active and busy.

While we aren’t sure what’s going to happen in the future the women have all shown great strength. Their attitudes are always positive and inviting. The team embodies an outlook on the Pandemic of being safe, so that we can play the sport that links us all.
