Saxon’s shout-out: “Most importantly, I would like to thank Coach Alex McMahan from Mainline Field Hockey and GMA for always believing in me and placing me on the right path to become a D1 player. I definitely made the right decision when I switched to her club. I also want to thank Emily Papas from Relentless for helping me become a stronger and more confident athlete. Finally, I want to thank Sue Persichetti, my former coach who has supported me from Day 1  of freshman year. All three of these women have made such a positive impact on my hockey career and I wouldn’t be where I am today without their support. Last but not least, I want to thank my parents for their continued support and being my biggest fans!”
