Nine players on the women’s lacrosse team, who were all starters, have graduated. This leaves the Cav’s with a lot of new players and only five seniors this season.
“The team worked well together but it was apparent that the seniors were and ran the team,” Jessica Breuning, junior midfielder, said.
Last season, the ladies had a perfect season in conference, going undefeated 9-0 and finished 14-6 overall.a
Breuning thought last season that she had done fairly well especially being a sophomore. But, the seniors were really good players to look up to.
“I think we have a good amount of returning players that will probably be able to pick up the slack from the seniors last year,” Breuning said.
The team is working together and most of the time they help and pick each other up, according to Breuning.
“But I don’t think we will be as great as last year because we lost a lot of great talent, but I think if we all work hard and work together we will be fine,” Breuning said.
Sasha Wozniak, junior attacker, returned this season from a torn ACL.
“I feel great coming back, I’m really excited I did a lot of work last season with rehabbing so I think it is going to be a good season,” Wozniak said.
Both athletes said everyone seems to have come prepared for this season.
“A lot of seniors are going to step up,” Wozniak said. “We have a lot of starting positions to fill and I think everyone is just fighting for a spot, everyone is doing a good job.”
Wozniak thinks that there is going to be a lot of pressure from their coach. “I think we’re prepared and ready to take on the challenge,” Wozniak said.
