Slow Process

02/04/2009 By Douglas

Hey All laxers, I hope all of you are enjoying a safe winter. The NCAA Lax season is in swing with practices and scrimmages currently happening. It is always interesting to see who just might develop as the years cinderella team. As I am biased, Hofstra is my hopefull team. I am also extremely interested to see what Coach Pressler is going to be able to pull off at Bryant this year with it first Division 1 schedule in school history. I wish him luck.
       On a personal note we have been practicing down here in South Florida for 3 weeks now, the process has been some what slow.  The stick skills to which I am used to are far off across the board, however there are a few gems to which I can polish throughout the year.  The one thing Florida has to offer is alot of athletes, hopefully soon to be called lacrosse players but time will tell. We have our first game in little over a week, so it will be interesting to see our development euring that time. A further look into the future we have huge games against St. Thomas and St. Andrew's who I believe is ranked in the top 10 in the country this year. We have alot of work to do before that comes to pass. Wish us luck! Shanny
