I had the chance to play in the International Friendship Games in Tokyo, Japan last May with Julie Smith and Missy Modesti, last year’s seniors, and Jackie Neary, as the assistant coach. “This trip was a magnificent experience that I will take with me for the rest of my life. I learned a lot about lacrosse from playing with different players from Divisions I, II and III and also got the chance to learn about another culture,” Proietta said.
