Ian Davies<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lacrosse- Goalkeeper<\/strong><\/p>\n

Senior Ian Davies has his sights set on earning All-American for the second year in a row. In order to accomplish this, along with other hopes, he writes his goals down, so he can keep track of them and cross them off. \u201cI like to make goals and work to achieve them. That\u2019s what I did last year, and it was good to achieve most of the goals I wanted to achieve,\u201d Davies said. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to let the pressure get to you in any sport, but especially for a lacrosse goalie. \u201cI try to think of games just like practice, so I don\u2019t get nervous because as a goalie you can\u2019t be freaking out,\u201d Davies said.The goalies tend to get praised when the team wins, but on the other hand, when the team loses, it\u2019s hard not to feel like it\u2019s your fault. \u201cGoalies always say when you lose you feel like it\u2019s your fault, which obviously isn\u2019t the case, but you can\u2019t help but feel like that. Whenever you have a really game and help your team win, it\u2019s a really good feeling because you feel like you had a lot to do with it,\u201d Davies continued. <\/span><\/p>\n

Davies has a great support system behind him that has gotten him where he is today. \u201cMy family is first. My mom passed away two years ago, but she definitely has been a big inspiration for me. My coaches, Coach Pilot and Coach Mason, have helped me a lot,\u201d Davies said. <\/span><\/p>\n

Good luck to Davies and the rest of the lacrosse team throughout the rest of the season. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Teresa Wagner<\/strong><\/p>\n

Softball-Pitcher<\/strong><\/p>\n

Senior Teresa Wagner started her senior season off with a bang. The humble softball pitcher threw a no hitter in the first softball game of the season. Because she is a senior, her success can be credited to her strong mentality. \u201cI try a lot harder in practice this year knowing it\u2019s my last year. I go as hard as I can because my days are limited, and each game I play is one less until I\u2019m done,\u201d Wagner said. <\/span><\/p>\n

Like Davies, Wagner has a big support system that has helped get her to where she is today. \u201cMy family has gotten me where I am today,\u201d Wagner said without missing a beat. \u201cI also have friends that push me to be my best,\u201d she continued. It makes sense that her favorite memory, then, is being on the same team as her sister, sophomore, Allison Wagner. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m thankful for having the best team that I\u2019ve been apart of which has been this year,\u201d said Wagner. What a way to end!<\/span><\/p>\n

Good luck to Wagner and the rest of the softball team throughout the rest of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
