Who They Play:

What They Say:

Head Coach Eboni Preston: "I'm excited to kick off the season this week and get our feet wet. Typically preseason is pretty long, so it will be great for the players to get back into game mode and really execute all of the various concepts that we've put into practice everyday. I look forward to starting the season off strong and setting the tone for the 2012 season."

Sarah Winstead, senior, attacker: "The team is really looking forward to getting the season started, we feel great about Thursday's game. We are so cohesive this season; we all know what to do and how to help others if they are having trouble. The first year class brought so much to the team this year. They have helped change the team chemistry. We are really pumped for Thursday."

Grace Herion, first year, defender: "This is my first collegate lacrosse game so I am a little nervous but very excited to get the ball rolling. The team is confident which helps; we feed off each other's energy. We are really looking forward to starting the season to see where we are and where we can go."
