Maryland goalie Brian Phipps gives lacrosse fans an inside look at the Terp's season. Find out what goes on in the preseason and what it's like to be a top college lacrosse player.
The last week of winter session is windy down. We are getting in shape and looking forward to the season which is right around the corner. As we are all preparing for finals of our January term class, we are pushing ourselves even harder on the field. We haven’t gotten used to waking up at 6am but we know it’s well worth it. The veterans on the team call this week Christmas with lacrosse. Every morning we come in for running and there is a new type of gear in our lockers. Whether it is new G22 gloves, stx armpads, shoulder pads, heads, stringing sticks, or under armor gear, we are excited to get it. Everyone is stringing up their sticks, dying their sticks, adjusting their helmets, or lacing up their cleats. The excitement is building and we are ready for the 2008 season to come. Once this week is over, all the new gear that we get is going to be put to use on the fields and we will be going at it full throttle. We have a bad taste in our mouths’ from last year and ready to take on whoever comes in front of us. This past month of waking up before the sun is even up is for the next couple months to come. We have put in the hard work with the conditioning part, now here comes the fun part of laxin’ it up on the field.

So is STX the exclusive sponsor of MD lacrosse? Or do players have some say in the sticks & equipment they use?
Brian on 01/16/2008
Well STX is our official sponsor and we have to use stx heads, poles, and pads. They have been real good to us and we like what we get so we are happy about it.

Thats awesome
... like what kind of equipment did u get?
I am a goalie too and i need a new pole i was wondering what kind of pole i should get/or what pole you like?
Brian on 01/16/2008
They give us gloves and armpads with our logo on it which is pretty cool and then like shoulder pads and chest protector. But I used a defensive shaft and cut it down, its a scandium titanium is the one i use.

Brian on 01/18/2008
I play with a pole like a little longer than an attack pole by like a glove length and a half.. pretty short compared to a goalie and d shaft
