Women’s Lacrosse Receives Gifts for Meeting

A recent gift to the women’s lacrosse program has transformed a space in the Templeton Center into the Lacrosse Meeting Room.

The Blue Hose women’s lacrosse team has had to use several different spaces on campus for team meetings, film sessions and teambuilding activities. This has all changed thanks to generous donors.

The P.E. classroom in the Templeton Center, the space in the Marby-Smith-Yonce Center, and the home locker room in the Yonce Field House are three of the spaces Coach Eric Clakeley and the team have gathered to prepare for games.

HUMBLING GIFTS FROM LACROSSE SUPPORTERS

“Our athletes take pride in the work they do for our program,” said Eric Clakeley, head coach of the Blue Hose women’s lacrosse team. “Having the lacrosse team meeting room as a result of the generosity of donors is humbling.

“The program and I are incredibly grateful for these gifts allowing us to renovate the space into a state-of-the art meeting and film facility.”

THE NEW MEETING ROOM

The renovated meeting room is located in the lower classroom just outside the gym in the Templeton Center. The space will be used for pre-practice team meetings, film sessions, scouting reports and teambuilding activities when appropriate, according to Clakeley.

When not in use by the women’s lacrosse team, the room’s features and layout were designed so the meeting room can also continue to serve as the athletic department’s conference room, an athletic event hospitality room, and a meeting room for other sports teams.
