Sophomore attack Emma Flynn earned herself Tiger of the Week after her superb performance against Illinois Wesleyan in the women's lacrosse game on Wednesday night. Although the ladies were not able to pull out the win, Flynn propelled the team with her four goals. Flynn now leads the team in goals with seven in just two games.
TDP: What reactions do you have to Wednesday's game?
EF: Honestly it’s a tough loss. I think we really we could have won that game, but losses do happen. All we can do it take it as a learning experience and get better.
TDP: How does it feel to be the team’s leading scorer?
EF: I have to admit, it’s pretty exciting. But honestly, I really couldn’t do it without my teammates. Those goals are all great feeds from my team and came from us working together as a unit down on our offensive end.
TDP: What do you think contributed to your all-star performance last night?
EF: think I came ready to play. Coming off of our first win, I was really excited to do get better every game, and I think I was able to do so. My energy was up, and that’s when I think I play my best lacrosse.
TDP: What kind of goals have you set for yourself and the team this season?
EF: My goal for the team is to make it to the conference tournament. My main goal for myself is score in every game, but also to improve every game.
TDP: What do you do before a match to "get your head in the game”?
EF: I listen to some really great pump up music and just think about what I’m going to try to achieve during the game. But most importantly, I watch "Miracle" before almost every game!
TDP: Do you have any advice for fellow student athletes?
EF: My advice would be to focus on why you love the game that you play. I think I forgot that for a while, but now that I’ve realized again why I love playing lacrosse, I’m such a better player because of it.
