So I went around asking some of our student athletes if they know anything about lacrosse which most of us didn’t. One question asked if anyone knew who invented lacrosse. That was a resounding…no! Most of us didn’t even know it was invented in America. The Native Americans were actually the ones who made-up the game. It is awesome to know that we now have a new sport to learn about. Hopefully we will learn a lot more as we talk to players and watch the game. As an athlete it is always exciting to discover a new sport. Here are some of the differences we have learned about the sports.

What does this say about the physicality of women?

This year lacrosse is being added to our athletic department. We are excited to add some more students to our close-knit group of athletes. After speaking to Coach Vedock, she gave me some insight on what lacrosse will bring to Columbia College. She states that lacrosse is “known as the fastest growing sport on two feet and will further diversify the athletic department." We are all very excited to see this unique sport come to our school. It is going to be a lot of fun going out to watch and support our lacrosse team. Welcome to Columbia College!
