Here\u2019s more on the team\u2019s philosophy towards success and how they will prepare to try to capture their third straight round-one win on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The Scranton women\u2019s lacrosse team has once again punched its golden ticket to the NCAA III national championship.<\/p>\n
The team captured its fourth straight landmark conference title over the weekend and now enters round one on a ten-game win streak.<\/p>\n
And the lady royals believe that as long as they remember who they are, they can conquer any challenge that lies ahead.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe like scout a lot for our games and talk about our opponents, but then we also say that it\u2019s important to remember who we are and not to worry so much about the opponent and who we\u2019re playing, but to trust each other,\u201d said Maggie Noonan, Scranton junior defenseman.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrust in our teammates, know who we are, and just play our game, just putting all our trust in each other. We\u2019ve been working towards this all season. I think these are the moments where all of our success will really come together,\u201d added Colleen Mullin, Scranton junior attacker.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve really prepped all year. We\u2019ve played really difficult teams and ranked teams at the beginning of the year, and even in our conference, like, just like working hard every day. So we\u2019ve really been training for this all year, even though it\u2019s this weekend, like this is really our moment to shine,\u201d voiced Becca Paterson, Scranton junior midfield.<\/p>\n
And though the team plays fiercely on the field, Scranton head coach Chrissy Trescavage believes it\u2019s their positivity that drives them towards success.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe try to have a really healthy balance of obviously wanting to win and do great things for the program, but also recognizing the joy in what we\u2019re doing and our friendships and the time that we\u2019re together, and just appreciating it,\u201d said Trescavage.<\/p>\n

The Lady Royals finished their regular season with a 15-4 record, going undefeated in conference play, but Trescavage believes all of this success means nothing without the people you accomplish it with.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe all sacrifice a lot to be division three coaches and to be division three athletes. There\u2019s so much sacrifice that happens. And for me and for our team culture, and i think for our players, being a family on and off the field is everything you know, it\u2019s not worth winning if it\u2019s not with the people that you admire and respect,\u201d added trescavage.<\/p>\n
The Lady Royals will face Saint Mary in round one this Saturday at three at the Rowan Soccer and Lacrosse Complex.<\/p>\n
