Springing into girls lacrosse, Possible player’s thoughts, opinions

As winter comes to an end, the spring sports begin, including girls lacrosse. Here’s the inside scoop on some of the young women who are conditioning and have upcoming try-outs. 

     Mollie Fialcowitz, freshman, is an upcoming player who is looking forward to try-outs for the school’s girls lacrosse team. Fialcowitz has played lacrosse “since about first grade” and has attended the conditioning provided to help girls prepare for try-outs. “It’s not fun but I think it’s good to help get to know everyone on the team before-hand” she commented. 

     Maddie Caiazzo, sophomore, is another possible team member. She however has a disadvantage considering she had obtained a broken arm due to an incident with her horse. Caiazzo mentioned, “due to the state of my arm, I have no idea when I will be able to play lacrosse again nor how fast it will heal.” She reported that she was upset about not being able to attend the conditioning provided because she wouldn’t feel prepared for the upcoming try-outs. 

     Isabelle Moxham, sophomore, sees lacrosse as a more “fun sport, and I’m not feeling prepared but I’m not necessarily nervous about try-outs.” She claimed to be “shooting for JV, because it’s more fun than varsity and less stressful.” Moxham doesn’t participate in any other sports to prepare for the lacrosse season, however she does have her own prep ideals; “sometimes I sporadically just work out for fun.” She had played lacrosse “from elementary school to middle school, where [she] stopped and then [she] started again last year.”

     Isabella Southard, junior, also attended conditioning and try-outs in hopes to make varsity because upper-classmen are only allowed to play if they make it on the varsity team. Southard states that she is not nervous for try-outs and looks forward to the lacrosse season. 

     “I play club and that really helps me with the recruiting process because I do want to play in college.” The senior says, 

“I don’t think that club and high-school really conflict because they are different seasons and lacrosse has always been somewhat easy for me.” Southard  looks to Charlotte North as a role model because she played in Boston College and they have a “great lacrosse program” and won the national championships this past year.

     Best of luck to all of the ladies who are trying-out starting March 1 and looking forward to a hawktastic spring season this year.
