Finally, after a year-long wait, the MHS Girls Lacrosse team is back with high hopes for the season. The girls are excited for this new season to come to an official beginning with their first game this afternoon April 6th, against Revere. 

This year’s captains are sophomore Abigail Morrison and junior Ava Conroy. They will be working alongside coach Rachael Rennie to help first-time players, who make up a majority of the team, learn how to play lacrosse.

Morrison mentioned that “we’re doing more basic things, but I can already see everybody improving.” As a captain this year, she is hoping to help the team grow while also working on her own skills. 

Most of the team this year consists of freshmen, meaning a lot of new faces were added to the team for returning players. In spite of that, it has been going well for the girls and they all feel that they have been improving fast with games approaching. 

Despite the wonky weather, the girls practice through all kinds of conditions to build endurance for all circumstances. Sophomore Belen Quispe Almendro commented that “when it was like 20 degrees we still had to go,” which proved to be quite tough for the team, but has shown its benefits since their practices are later than most sports, starting from four to six pm every day. Players even have Sunday practices every week. 

Hajar Azegza, a freshman player on the team this year, has now started playing the game after a long two-year break. Azegza confessed that she felt she was “finally getting back in shape. And I’m like, kind of regaining that passion.” She mentioned that since it has been a while it felt weird to be back on the field preparing for a game, but “it feels normal,” as though she was back in fifth grade. 

When it comes to future games, the girls are going to do their best to stay prepared by practicing and communicating well with one another throughout the season. Morrison described paying attention to a lot of the tips and new skills that coach Rennie has been developing for the team this year. 

Almendro started playing lacrosse this school year and is excited to start attending games. She feels as though “most of the team is actually really good.” Though many of the players are on the younger side, many of them have played lacrosse before; hence, they are already all quite knowledgeable when it comes to the game.  

With that being said, the Girls Lacrosse team has been working hard to start off their season on the right foot, as they will surely conquer all this season.
