Steamboat Springs — Lacrosse just ended up being the cherry on top of Rachel Ivancie’s college decision.
Ivancie, a 2008 Steamboat Springs High School graduate, had found her perfect college destination in the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Wash.
It had everything she wanted. The ocean, the mountains and an undergrad number of 2,000.
“It felt like a good match,” Ivancie said. “It had a Colorado feel to it.”
But when she saw that it also had a varsity girls lacrosse program, Ivancie, a four-year player at Steamboat, figured she’d give it a try.
Initially, she was nervous. Most of the incoming freshmen already had a workout plan in place before attending the first organized activity.
But like she had in Steam boat, Ivancie found lacrosse brings people together.
