We can't get cocky or overconfident, we have to just keep our standards high. Humility is one of the characteristics that stands out amongst the players and coaches. But make no mistake, this is an elite team that knows how to win and believes in each other's abilities. We have a fair amount of depth at both ends of the field. Numbers-wise, we have some experience.
Some experience is an understatement.
Tower Hill lost just three players to graduation and returns 11, including Owens, an honorable mention All-America and Harvard lacrosse signee. Most of the Hillers have been playing lacrosse for years and also play competitively during the offseason. Joining Owens as a leader for Tower Hill is defensive specialist Alex Otto. Otto is heading to North Carolina in the fall for field hockey. Like Owens, Otto is a four-year starter for the Hillers.
