Interview with first-year attackman Meghan McNabb

1. Was it difficult making the transition from playing in high school to the game against Springfield last week?

Making the transition from playing in high school games to playing against Springfield wasn't as difficult as I expected it to be. The coaching staff and my teammates really helped prepare me and the other freshmen for this game during fall ball and preseason. They made sure that we understood that we were ready and could handle whatever came our way out on the field.

2. In your first collegiate game, you got 7 points (4 goals, 3 assists). What led to this success?

What led to that success was having amazing teammates out on the field with me. I could not have done it without them and I am not the only one that deserves credit for my 7 points. I think that if I hadn't have had such a strong support system on the field and to know that my teammates would back me up with whatever shot or pass I decided to make was definitely the biggest reason for my success on the field during the spring field game.

3. What are your thoughts on the upcoming Worcester game?

I am really excited for the Worcester game. We came out so strong in the Springfield game and I can't wait to see what will happen in this game. We had a week of practice to continue to better ourselves and better prepare ourselves and we worked really hard and I believe that it will show on the field.

4. How have the upperclassmen made the first year students welcomed into this program?

The upperclassmen have really made us freshmen feel welcomed into this program by not allowing us to feel and play like freshmen. They have been trying really hard to make sure that we understand that we all play an important role on this team and that we are all here for the same reason and that is because we all love the game of lacrosse and we all want to have an amazing season.

5. For spring break, you guys are going down to Dallas. Since you weren't with the team last year, what are you looking forward to during this trip?

I am so excited for this trip! I have never been to Dallas so I can't wait for this amazing experience. The coaches have a lot of surprises in store for us but we wont know what they are until we arrive in Dallas. The suspense is killing me! I also can't wait for this trip because it is an amazing opportunity for our team to play teams that we normally would never get to play and I think it will be a great challenge for us to face.

6. What do you have to say to the Plymouth community about this team for the rest of the year?

Get ready for an amazing season! We are not the same team that everyone has seen over the past few years. We are bigger, better, stronger and can't wait to prove it. We have two home games this season and we hope to see a lot of the community there to support us.
