Fallen Warrior

        We have a culture on our team that bonds us all together as a family. I believe once a warrior always a warrior. This past Monday a member of my freshman warrior class passed away. His name was Roger Muchnick. He played here at Eastern in 2009 before he left school and joined the Marines. He was the type of kid that no matter how bad my day was going I could go back to the dorm, hang out with him for 5 minutes and be in the best mood with no worries on my mind. Many people have fond memories of Roger and here are a few from some of the players that played with him that year.
          Michael Sullinger another member of our freshman warrior class says, "He was an outgoing, fun loving guy who always had a smile on his face. He never worried about the small stuff and tried to share that idea with everyone."Kyle Savage was a senior captain our freshman year and had this to say about Roger, "Roger was the ultimate team player. When he first came in as a freshman, everyone gravitated towards him. He always had a smile on, cracking jokes, and finding the fun in every and any situation. It made being around him truly enjoyable. He had the unique ability to bring out the fun in even the most grueling practices and situations. A piece of Roger will always be in the hearts of all us alumni who had the honor of playing alongside him." He was a true friend and an astonishing lacrosse player. He will be missed by all that knew him and those future warriors will always know, for we will pay tribute to him by having his number on the back of our helmets. Below is the link of the accident so you can further read about Roger and the other fallen heroes.

Game Day: Gordon

On March 2nd we took on Gordon College for our home opener and I had Mike Dellano follow the team around and show what we do to get ready for games. Here is the video that Liam Murphy put together of that footage.

Today we take on Amherst College at Amherst, Massachusetts at 4:30pm. Our record is 1-3 however, we are still feeling very strong about our season and are looking forward to our game today. Senior Defenseman Conor Helberg said, "The past few games do not depict who we are as a team." I would have to agree with him and add we are still early in our season and have full faith we can pull it together and have a memorable season where great things are achieved.
