Going into our last weekend of the season, and the last weekend of my career, it is nice to know that the other seniors and myself will be ending our time here at Vassar proud of what we have accomplished as individuals and as a team. This past Wednesday, in an exciting back and forth game under the lights on Weinberg Field, we lost to one of our rivals, Union College, 12-8. While we did not manage to defeat a Liberty League opponent this year, we definitely showed that we are no longer a team others in the Liberty League can assume is an automatic win. I am confident that our program will continue to get stronger and be a factor in our league.
This is a time of the year where not only is our season coming to an end, but tours flood our school daily with soon-to-be Brewers. It is unbelievable to think that a few short years ago I was walking amongst those tour groups as an innocent high school senior who had no idea what Vassar would have in store for him. Playing lacrosse here has really been a blessing, and was one of the main reasons I chose to come here. The unique dynamic our team has I feel is unparalleled by any other teams we have played against, and to others, even some on our own campus, is downright strange.
Our brotherly qualities to one another, and our ridiculous antics from mustaches to the days of team ice (yes, my freshman year nearly every single member of the team pierced their ear with an large fake diamond earring, causing the Piercing Pagoda to run out of that model because of us) really made for an experience that I would not trade for anything.
I look forward to the last weekend of the year as we finish up against SUNY Cobleskill and Cazenovia College. Come out and support as the weather will be sunny and possibly in the 80s as this chapter of the Vassar men's lacrosse team finishes its story.
