Lacrosse and Football: Stephen Hauschka

Passion for lacrosse was a constant companion — and source of success — as Stephen Hauschka (Needham, Mass.) made his journey from Middlebury’s lacrosse field to the NFL

By Marisa IngemiNovember 1, 2017

Things turned out pretty well for Stephen Hauschka.

The NFL kicker from Needham, Mass. — who was a part of a Super Bowl team in Seattle and now enjoying a strong season with Buffalo — had many different paths unfold in his journey.

Growing up with a passion for soccer, Hauschka saw that door close when he was in college. When that opportunity ended, the chance to play football became possible.

But along the way — from Needham to Middlebury College to North Carolina State — lacrosse also was there for Hauschka.

"In high school, I fell in love with it," said Hauschka, who began playing lacrosse in the sixth grade. "I started first with soccer when I was 3, but lacrosse became my favorite, after soccer. In high school, with the run in senior year, it was a great run."
