The Women’s Lacrosse team has gotten off to a slow start this season as the Hoyas have struggled through one of the toughest schedules in the country. However, these early trials aren’t necessarily a bad thing.
“These losses will help us because we’re learning from our mistakes and correcting the problems,” said senior co-captain Molly Ford.
Ford certainly has the credentials to be confident—she is one of Georgetown’s top performers. She has started every game for the Hoyas over the past two seasons and racked up an impressive list of awards. Ford is a two-time All-Big East first team member and a two-time All-American. This year she added the title of captain to her impressive resume.
“I’ve definitely taken more of a leadership role this year,” Ford said. “But that doesn’t put more pressure on me, because I feel like I was in a leadership role last year as a junior on the attack.”
The Hoyas will need Ford to build on her strong career as the team looks to win the Big East,Conference.
“Right now, our record is 0-0,” Ford said. “If we win the Big East we’re in the NCAA Tourney.”
With Ford’s leadership, it’s a safe bet the Hoyas will be a force to be reckoned with.
