In the Moment

By: Maddy Johnson

In the project, I went to the University of Oregon’s women’s club lacrosse team’s practice. I interview Lilly Newman and she discussed practice schedule, upcoming tournaments and how expensive lacrosse can be. Lilly hopes that in the future, the University will provide more funding, allowing all athletes to participate.

Lilly Newman takes the field on Saturday afternoon to practice her shot before the next game on March 4th at Oregon State. Since she has been at Oregon, they have not lost to Oregon State as she hopes to continue that winning streak.

Lilly Newman is working on ground ball and shooting drills in her spare time. Her goal is to improve her ground ball and shot percentage statistics’ this season.
Lacrosse is a very expensive sport. A lacrosse stick typically cost around $200.
