Happy New Year! Yesterday marked the first official day of classes for EC Laxers and we are only 19 days away from hitting the ground running in the 2013 season! This is the time where champions are made, in the long, cold hours of preseason, the time we look back on in April and realize it was all worth it.
To get us and you even more revved up about our hunt for the GNAC trophy, here's an introduction to our 2013 captains and what they're expecting of the team this season. Here's a little bit of excitement the three of them share:
We are all looking forward to hitting the ground running. We don’t think we have ever had a team this excited to get the season going! The entire team has been training in preparation for an awesome season. Everyone is ready to start practicing. We have a lot of new players who are eager to make an impact on the team. Everyone had such a positive energy- which is a great start to a new season!

1. What's your major/minor at Emerson?
Marketing/ Business
2. What's your favorite thing about going to school in Boston?
Boston is such a small city. I love being able to walk to my friends' apartments, take the T to Bruins games, take the train to Pats games... We're connected to so many things and we're so lucky to be in a location like Boston.
3. What kind of
career do you anticipate pursuing after you graduate?
I’ll be working at an
advertising agency in Boston. I love going to work, love the people I work with,
feel at home there AND my agency is a street away from Rotch so I can make it
to every home game after I graduate. What more could a girl ask for?!
4. Name your
three favorite places in the world and why.
Lebanon, Maine – I’ve
done a lot of traveling and can’t think of a better place to be than sitting in
the living room, in the house I grew up in, chatting with my parents and
siblings.
On a lake – literally
any lake in the world where I can go fishing and swimming.
Anywhere in Italy –
for too many reasons.
5. What kinds
of music do you listen to: doing school work? workout our pre-game? On
the T?
Country, Country,
Country. Luke, Jason, Kenny, Tim, Jake, Kip… Need I go on? Okay, I sway from it
every now and then, but I could be in the worst mood, listen to a good ole’ Luke
Bryan song and suddenly; I’m the happiest person in the world.
6. Favorite TV
shows?
Duck Dynasty –
Rednecks are the most entertaining bunch of nuts out there.
