This week, the Clarion sat down with women’s lacrosse player, Christa Reese. 

Q: How old are you and what year are you?

A: I’m 21 and I am a senior.

Q: What is your major?

A: I am a hospitality major and I have an accounting minor.

Q: Where are you originally from?

A: I am from Baltimore, Maryland.

Q: How did you get started playing lacrosse?

A: I started when I was about five years old. On the east coast, it’s natural that everyone plays this sport. I stuck with it because I really liked it.

Q: How did you come to DU?

A: I was looking at a bunch of schools but once I visited Denver, saw the campus, met the team and the coaches and saw the mountains, I just knew that this was the place for me.

Q: What upcoming game are you most looking forward to this season?

A: Definitely Stanford. This is a huge game for us every season. They are coming off a loss and we’re coming off a win. We always get pumped for this game. We can beat them on their home field and we have before, so this will be a great game.

Q: What’s one special thing about you that most fans don’t know?

A: I was recruited as a defender and I have played every position except goalie since I have been at DU.

Q: Aside from lacrosse, what else do you enjoy doing?

A: I really enjoy hiking and cooking in the limited amount of free time that we have.

Q: Do you have any plans for after college?

A: This summer I will be studying abroad in Amsterdam to fulfill the hospitality major’s requirement. After that, I’ll be looking for a job around Denver and hopefully I will still be playing lacrosse sometimes too.
