Why do you play lacrosse?
I play lacrosse because of the bonds I have with my teammates and because they have become my best friends. The girls on my team right now are like my sisters and we would do anything for each other. A team is really successful when you have great team chemistry and cooperation. It is also really fun and the competition is always tough.
