Playing Experience: I have been playing lacrosse for over 10 years and 4 years Division I Lacrosse for Northwestern University.

Biggest Differences between English and American lacrosse: Instead of Middy C’s I’m working with some high socks. Instead of protecting your face with goggles like normal people would, you’re meant to sacrifice the body. Instead of long island accents I feel like I’m playing with the characters from Love Actually.
