Varsity lacrosse player and junior Eryn Mower is pumped up for the upcoming season.

She has played lacrosse for three years and has been one of the team’s key players.

“She is a stellar player and teammate,” junior Kendal Stryker said.

The current captains of the lacrosse team are Mary Lonergan and Laura Dennigan. Mower hopes to be a captain next year and will work towards that goal this year.

“I am definitely going to apply for captain next year and hopefully it works out,” Mower.

Mower has very specific goals for the season and hopes to achieve them through hard work.

“My personal goals for the season are to develop a left-handed shot and have better endurance,” Mower said.

Stryker said that Mower is a important member of the team on and off the field.

“I feel like I am an approachable teammate that people can come to if they’re having an issue,” Stryker said. “She’s easy to talk to I feel comfortable asking her questions and she is always hyping us up. Also, she’s funny.”

Teammate Meghan Gorman has played with Mower all three years.

“Eryn is a huge help and support on our offensive ends and plays a large role in our transitioning from the midfield and down,” Gorman said. “She is always there to get a loose ground ball or to help a trapped teammate. She always maintains a positive attitude and good spirit which continuously encourages the rest of us to play our best.”

Mower is very proud to be on the varsity team. She works hard along with her teammates and they push each other to do well.

“Being on varsity means a lot to me,” Mower said. “It pushes me to do better, try my hardest on and off the field, and making sure I am academically and athletically successful.”
