4. I know the season hasn’t started yet, but how do you think the team will do this year?
We played our first non-district game on August 24^th, unfortunately we lost, but we agreed that the team will only go up from here. I think we know our strengths and weaknesses and we are trying hard to communicate and work as a team on and off the field.

Everyone on the team is a key player because each person brings a different aspect to the team whether it’s getting the team pumped before the game or scoring the goals.

Field hockey is my favorite sport, but I also play spring lacrosse.

I enjoy having friends in my classes as well being taught by great teachers.

 

 

10. What kind of things do you like to do when you aren't playing field hockey?
I enjoy most activities as long as they involve my friends such as shopping, going to the beach, or simply watching a movie as well as volunteering at Children’s Hospital.
