Wooster Lacrosse

It’s amazing what a new year, a new coach and just simple change in mentality can do for a program.
From being on the outside looking in at the Wooster lacrosse team, I have been thoroughly amazed at how far this team as come. A year ago this was a team built on individuals with little if any regard for the team.
In comes new head coach Ben Drushal and suddenly you have players looking to make “One more pass,” and on defense you have players “Doing it right, doing it fast.” More suddenly are the wins that seem to be mounting up as the team has improved to 4-1 on the year and was winning 9-2 at halftime against Strongsville.
With players like Reid Delaney, Grant Delaney, Cooper Erwin, Greg Gantz, Ben Bergman and Darrian Owens all looking to perform their rolls, suddenly the team looks like a team. They mash opponents with stifling defense (includes a lot whacking with the sticks and hockey style body checks), outhustle other teams for ground balls and at the offensive end, attack, attack, attack.
No matter where you look, it seems as if everyone has bought into the team first mentality. For me, its a refreshing site to see and even better are the wins to back up what Drushal has been preaching. Getting the results always seems to help.
