The school year here at Hartwick has been off to a hectic start! We now find ourselves closing in on the midpoint of fall ball, with the team making great strides in many areas of our game. The girls have been focused, positive and very hardworking, which as a coach is always a pleasure to work with.
In honor of the Olympics this summer, our team has decided to embark on an Olympic Games of our own, competing in events that incorporate speed, endurance, strength, communication, stick work, and knowledge of the program and their teammates. The results so far have been positive! We are only in the trials stage for each event but we’re getting closer to the actual Wick Lax Olympic Games. Let’s see which team has what it takes to bring home the gold!
Our team is fortunate enough to welcome six newcomers to the team, including 5 freshmen and one sophomore. They add a new look to the team and have been adjusting well to the faster and more physical style of play in college lacrosse. In the coming weeks, we will post a “get to know you” piece on each player on the team, beginning with the freshmen, so the entire Wick Lax community can see how great they are!
As we continue to progress through fall ball, we are beyond excited to welcome back our alums visiting this weekend for Alumni Weekend. It looks like we will have a great turnout, which will be a wonderful opportunity for our current team to connect with their predecessors. We are particularly looking forward to welcoming back our three seniors who graduated this past spring- Britt, Hannah and Em!
Our Fall Ball this year culminates with a tournament at RPI on October 14th, just over 2 weeks away. It will be a good challenge for our team to see how we measure up to our opponents as well as seeing how quickly we can adapt to live game situations. We hope some of our fans can make the trip! We’d love the support!
