Spadafora says “[her] favorite thing about being a part of the team is the contribution everyone gives. Everyone is so helpful and [they] all make sure [they] are on track with everything which is a big part of the sport itself. The team is so funny, everyday is something new and [they’re] always laughing and having fun.” Being a part of the lacrosse team is something Spadafora is proud of and she enjoys the practices and games they all have together.  

Spadafora also includes that there is always something that she and her team can improve on. Her goals for the season are to “have fun and try [their] best to win.”Although the girls’ lacrosse team hasn’t won yet, Spadafora is more than certain that with this year's team, they will succeed in no time.

Spadafora does her job well as a captain, she also is very motivating for her team and shows her responsibility as a captain, her teammate, Desiree Delgado thinks that “[Spadafora] is a great captain. She's always upbeat and smiling. She keeps the good vibes going with her attitude. She's also willing to help anyone that needs help even before she was captain which [she] thought was amazing and what a captain should hold them self accountable for.”

As for what the team does regularly, “[they] start with dynamics, [they] go over drills, [they] are [there] for support.” Although Spadafora is one of three captains on the team, she believes that captains are only “extensions” of the coach and they are quite similar in roles, but captains are more approachable.

Playing lacrosse for her whole high school career, Spadafora has decided that she would continue this sport after high school and into college. She hopes to also motivate younger children who may have interest in playing the sport.
