Erin Drumm 2018 lacrosse game

Drumms memory never forgotten

Every year the varsity women’s lacrosse team holds a game in honor of Erin Drumm who was a goalie on the team. Drumm passed from cancer in December 2016. Ever since then the varsity women’s lacrosse team dedicates a lacrosse game a year to Erin.

This year the team dedicated a home game against Bel Air to Drumm. The stadium was decorated with orange, which was the goalies favorite color. In large orange cups the team formed letters on the stadium fence spelled “DRUMMSTRONG.”

Senior Audrey Diventi says this game is important because “Erin was a passionate lacrosse player and a great person and we should always recognize and remember her for being apart of the team.” The Senior says someone usually a senior, prepares something nice to say about Erin and how much she meant to the team. “The game means we all come together and play for someone who can’t play anymore.”

Brooke Rickey a current senior who spoke at the Drumm strong game said “the game honors a former teammate and friend. Even though underclassmen don’t know her or haven’t played with her it shows them a piece of our past team. It’s something we all play for.” its a way of remembering her and how nice of a person she was.  She could bring the teams mood up no matter what was happening.” The senior chose to speak because “ it’s been a couple years and most the team didn’t play with her since I did know her I thought would be nice to give a speech from someone who knew her.”

Junior Anna Racine says “ it’s important to keep her memory alive and appreciate the life she lived.” The team will continue to honor Erin and her family with the traditional Drumm game for many years.
