Patch.com: How is your season going?

Katie Karl: "I am so happy with the way our season has been going this year. We have really come together and grown as a team. I am so proud of the way the whole team works together in order to win games.

We have won 17 games and only lost 3 games which is a new record in St. Joe lacrosse history for the least amount of the games lost in a season.

I’m looking forward to starting playoffs because I believe in my team and what all we can accomplish together."

What is the favorite thing you like about being on your team?

KK: "I like the way we all work together and how there is not just one person doing everything. Every person on our team has amazing lacrosse abilities and everyone applies them on the field.

I also like the way we all get along, it makes practices and games fun and everyone truly enjoys being out on the field."

Patch: "


Comment on any special accomplishments this season so far.

KK: "One game that I will never forget was the Eureka game this year. To start out the game we were down 6 to 1 in the first half. Towards the end of the game it was tied 9-9.

I received a pass from my sister Jackie and was able to take it down the field to score making the score 10-9. Not only did we score one goal to win the game, we were able to score another goal before the end of the game.

This was a huge accomplishment from us because of how much we were down by in the beginning of the game and how we were able to pull through as a team to win the game."

Patch: 


Which athlete do you admire the most, and why?

KK: "The athlete I admire the most would probably be Lebron James. I follow him closely in basketball and I also love the way he is so dedicated to his wife and children.

I also admire all that he has accomplished in his basketball career."

What is your favorite tune in your I-Pod these days?

KK: "I Love It by Icona Pop."
