“Lead with courage.”
It’s the phrase a voiceover begins with in a promotional video featuring players and teams from the Stonehill athletic department. The voiceover describes those three words as “what it means to be a Stonehill Skyhawk.”
The video goes on to describe the work ethic and compete level student-athletes at Stonehill have, and includes shots of lacrosse midfielders Lilly Leach (Lyndonville, Vt.) and Mallory Crispens (Wallingford, Conn.).
Courage will be one of the traits the team needs as the Skyhawks move to the Northeast Conference and Division 1 starting this fall.
