The Hood College softball team traveled to Florida, while the men’s lacrosse team spent time at the Under Armour headquarters in Baltimore for team bonding activities and competitions over spring break.
“We wanted to find something unique with our guys during spring break,” coach Brad Barber said. “This is a great opportunity to get off campus together and continue to build internal relationships across the board.”
The Blazers lacrosse team had the opportunity to have a full practice, using Under Armour’s own athletic field.
“Not many teams get the chance to experience something like that, so it made us really appreciate the opportunity,” senior Austin Palmer said. “It brought the team closer together and gave us extra motivation to keep working hard and represent our program the right way.”
While the lacrosse team stayed local, the softball team headed to Orlando, Florida, for spring break.
“Our spring break to the Orlando, Florida, area has a lot of benefits to our team,” coach Terry Burdette said before they left. “Most importantly is having good weather to play some non-conference games and prepare us for MAC play.”
The Blazers softball team played eight games and won two, defeating Juniata College 6-5 and the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg 9-1.
The trip was paid for with money brought in from camps and clinics the teams holds throughout the summer and fall.
