NCAA Tournament

Today as I was waiting for the NCAA tournament bracket to be released, the reality of our championship finally hit me. Last week my college's lacrosse team earned our first conference championship title. My best friends and I finally achieved our long fought goal. I've never felt so much pure joy and energy in such a long time.
We played Simmons College, in the final round of the Greater Northeast Athletic Conference championship on Sunday April 28th. The score was close the entire game. When Simmons closed the gap with 3 consecutive goals, one of our junior attackers saved the game with a goal leaving 20 seconds on the clock. The anxiety level on the sidelines from both team and the fans was so intense. My friend Will Dempsey got a great shot of my best friend and I celebrating our win.

I'm so proud of my team for our accomplishments this year. Not only did we win a conference championship, but our team finished the year ranked 3rd in the nation for scoring offense. We also had players rank nationally in goals per game, goals in general, and assists. I'm so fortunate to play amongst such talented lacrosse players.
