Studying: Psychology and Philosophy
Achievements: 2009/2010 - Scottish League Championship Squad
Bio: I was first introduced to Lacrosse while at High School in New Hampshire, USA. I moved back to Scotland with the sole intention of studying at Stirling University. To my surprise they had a Lacrosse team, and not just any team but a group of guys who were welcoming to new players and always up for having a good time. I love everything about playing lacrosse for Stirling, not only are we a great team, in regards to results and fixtures, but we are a great group of friends. This team comes together more like a family, I wouldn't give that up for anything.

Bio: I joined the lacrosse team because I wanted to try a new sport while at university after playing football, hockey and rugby during school. I love lax, I love the boys and I love the Stirling spirit! To top it all off the nights out, which are very frequent, and the violence, on the field, are brilliant.

Bio: I had played a little lacrosse before coming to uni, but never at any decent level. Along side the brilliantly persuasive talk at the sports fair, I thought it was a really enjoyable sport to take up and play. After getting wiped out at the taster session I realised this was the sport for me. The team is absolutely brilliant, both on the pitch and off, with training being fun, and the social side of the team unrivalled. Join it today!

DOB: 11/06/91
Studying: Business Management
Bio: During my first year at Stirling uni, my mate started playing lacrosse and constantly was going on about how amazing the sport and team were. His nagging continued for ages, he claimed that I should stop talking about doing the sport, and actually pick up a lacrosse stick. I ignored his advice for a full year. However come second year I decided enough was enough and joined the team. I loved it from the first second I tried it, if only I hadn't waited so long to begin my lacrosse career!

Bio: I started playing Lacrosse in my first year of University for two reasons: 1. I wanted to get fit and 2. because I got approached by one of the seniors that year at the freshers sports faire. Currently I think Stirling Lacrosse is heading in a great direction with new leadership and with fresh meat rolling in this semester it can only get better!

Bio: I joined lacrosse as i was looking to get into a new sport. I love the physical contact and high speed of the game, as well as all the banter that happens on and off the pitch. The social side is also a huge part of being involved in the team and is a reason in itself to join the team.

Bio: I joined the lacrosse team in my second year at university because I had been determined to join a sports team but was too hungover to make it too the sports bazaar so just thought i would copy my flatmates and play lax. I was surprised with how good a sport it actually is, the boys are good crack and the nights out are messy, so all round its pretty swet!

Achievements: 2009/2010 - Scottish League Championship Squad, 2011 - Scotland U21 British National Championship, 2011 - Scotland tour of Manchester, 2012 - BNC's, Under 21's Scotland World Championship Squad
Bio: I joined Stirling Lacrosse in 2009 when looking for a club within university in which I could have fun, meet new people.. This team is perfect for those wanting to have fun, we have great socials along with an amazing girls team, play a great game and for those who enjoy it ... winning! Our ethos here is play hard, party harder and has been that since the start of the club some 6 years ago and will always continue to be so forever. This sport allows you to grow vastly in confidence and skill at an extraordinary rate and opens doors to playing at an international level. Something I have been doing and will hopefully continue to do so throughout the rest of my lacrosse career. And the icing on top of an already great cake, I have made some amazing friends during my involvement with the Stirling and Scotland squads.

Bio: I joined Stirling Lacrosse in my first year at uni as I really wanted to try a different sport and well, lacrosse looked awesome. So I did the taster session after the fresher's fair and completely fell in love, with both the game and the team. Outwith the training and matches the socials are epic too. I would say, if you like hitting people or like getting hit, then join lacrosse today.

Bio: I joined the lacrosse team because im lazy and violent.After sleeping through football trials and not liking the look of the standard of the ultimate frisbee team, lacrosse seemed like a good alternative that id briefly dabbled with in high school but never taken seriously, therefore it seemed like the perfect choice, plus my fitness at the time was lacking and i like dressing up! All in all, I love playing lacrosse and I love the lads! I Couldn't imagine playing this sport with any other group of guys.

Bio: I began playing lacrosse during my first year at university. My mates kept going on about how amazing the sport was, and how great the team was.
