Girls Lacrosse Trip By: Sophie kim

Players congregate together during the quarter of the first scrimmage of the trip. The girls team made a huge comeback the second half from 1-9 to the final score of 12-11. The team ended up winning two out of the three games in Florida, showing their dominance as well as a promising upcoming season.

While not everyone would get a chance to play in each scrimmage or game, many learned new strategies and skills through watching the games/scrimmages. Additionally, there was at least four hours in total of practice each day, so many players improved over the course of the trip as well as became more in shape for the upcoming season.

The team stayed in Clearwater Beach, Florida. During the course of days the team was there it was fairly humid with most days being in the high seventies with around 80% humidity. Players during their free time were able to swim in the hotel pool or go to the beach. While the team was there it was fairly busy in Clearwater Beach, making it difficult for the team to go out to lunch or dinner collectively.

The fields the team played at were around fifteen to twenty minutes away from the hotel, so three vans were needed to transport all thirty players, three coaches, and all of the equipment. The rides in the van were bonding experiences between upper and lower class-men, with many people playing music and singing along.
