For Helen Bae, the sport she grew up knowing and loving, swimming, became too much of a strain for her mental health. In eighth grade, she decided to pick up lacrosse and try something new.
After playing for her club and throughout high school, she wasn’t really sure if she wanted to commit to another four years of playing lacrosse in college.
Bae explained that practice at the beginning of the season helped her reacclimate to the sport. “I realized [in preseason] that even though it gets hard, I really do enjoy playing this game.”
Helen Bae will be joining her teammate Chloe Kerwin at Maryville University next year.
