Senior Midfielder Austin Wright dropped a line after the first round of the playoffs, touching on what he learned from the weekend, and even more... started to pick up a couple things he can do prior to arriving at Hofstra next fall. Wright, is set to help the Pride to another playoff run. Austin and the Worthington Kilbourne Wolves have enjoyed a great season taking down Upper Arlington and earning a top 3 seed in the Mid West Tournament. Read how Austin saw week one. 

After watching the first round of the playoffs over the weekend there were a few things that stood out to me.

I think the biggest transition from high school to division one college lacrosse would be the speed of the game. This was made clear after watching the first half of the UVA game. There ability to run and gun makes them a very dangerous team.

I think that there are two things that I am going to have to work on, on an individual basis. The first is the ability to change directions in a split second. Billy Bitter is a great example of this he can run at his defenseman full speed and stop on a dime, side step him and get a shot off. The second is to be able to shoot and pass at the same level with the stick in either hand.

Those are a few of the things that make Division one lacrosse so great.

Plays who start to pick up on the parts of the game they can work on to make precived weakness into strengths always have the best shot to blow up on the next level.
