What is one of your most memorable moments or a memory you will cherish from your time with this program?

Hannah Jalowiec: I will cherish every moment at practices and games with these girls that I can confidently call a second family. My favorite memories will be the long bus rides together and all the fun games and jokes we made along the way. Nothing will beat that entire day trip to New Jersey this season.

Emma Sanson: I will always cherish the friendships I have made during my time here, as this team has truly become my second family. They've supported me through everything, and I could not ask for better teammates. One of my most memorable moments was the yearly tradition during pre-season, going to Watch Hill and having dinner at our coach's parents' house.

What has been the most rewarding part of being a member of this program?

Angelina Falleni: The most rewarding part of being on this team has been their constant support throughout my life these last four years. My teammates have loved and supported me through all the good and bad moments and knowing I have family for life is the most rewarding part of this program.

Hannah Jalowiec: The most rewarding part of being a member of this program is getting to meet every one of my teammates through the years. I am so glad I have gotten so close to them and can count on them for anything. We have each other's backs on and off the field and I love seeing all of them on campus as well as hanging out together outside of Field Hockey!

Emma Sanson: The most rewarding part of being in this program has been the relationships I've built with teammates who share the same love for the game. I'm grateful for the opportunity to balance academics while competing in field hockey at a higher level.

How has this program shaped you as a person?

Angelina Falleni: This program has taught me how to be a leader and take action while keeping my compassion and understanding. My teammates have taught me so much about working together and how important communication is at all levels. The team atmosphere has been a constant light in my life the past four years and I hope to take their sense of positivity, humor, and love with me.

Hannah Jalowiec: This program has taught me how to balance a busy schedule, believe in myself and to always keep a positive mindset. I love being able to be around such an amazing group of people and brighten each other's days.

Emma Sanson: This program has taught me so much about myself, especially the importance of time management and balancing multiple responsibilities. Additionally, I have learned how to be a leader and take initiative. I do my best to show up to practice every day with a positive attitude, and I am forever grateful for teammates who always have each other's backs.

What is a life lesson that you learned during your time with this program?

Angelina Falleni: Being a part of a team has taught me how to understand and appreciate different personalities and learn to work together to reach success.

Hannah Jalowiec: To never take anything for granted! My time being a part of ECSUFH flew by and I am forever grateful to have been given this opportunity to play at the collegiate level with so many talented people and make so many best friends along the way. I can't wait to see what the rest of us do for this season! With my time left, I want to leave everything on the field and make myself and my team proud.

Emma Sanson: One lesson I have learned during my time at Eastern is never to take anything for granted and to truly embrace the moment. When people have told me the four years would fly by, I thought it was cliché - but being here now feels unreal. With only a few games left, I'm determined to give it everything I have. I'll miss sharing the field with my best friends, and we're doing everything we can to make this season one to remember.
