Why are you involved with WBLGN?

The first time I played Box Lacrosse 3 years ago, I was astounded by how dynamic and fun it is. Being in Asia I know first hand how difficult it is to get into this discipline. Just to even know about it let alone to access a court, to have equipment to play, to have a coach who can teach us and to participate in competitions. I hope my role in WBLGN will help more female lacrosse players like me get to experience Box.

What was your favourite Lacrosse moment?

SHEBOX 2024 my whole team landed in Prague after our 20 hour flight and all our luggage didn't arrive with us. We didn't have uniform, sticks or any gear to play our first game the next day. My favourite moment was being in hotel lobby next day seeing boxes of donated gear flood in. It was a touching moment to know many box teams came together to donate us enough equipment so we could play.

Fun Fact:

I play handball. Strategically its sport that quite similar to BOX lacrosse we also have dive shots!

How are you involved in Box Lacrosse today?
