As Syracuse prepares to host Binghamton on Monday, February 20, we continue our Q&A series with senior Hallie Simkins

Â
What goals do you have for this season, both personally and for the team?
I want to win a National Championship with this team!
Â
Who is your lacrosse role model or who did you love to watch growing up?
I would say I have two role models in lacrosse, one being my sister because I grew up watching her play, and the other is my aunt, Lauren Clegg, who played at Georgetown and is a Hall of Famer there.
Â

My go to karaoke song would probably be "If I Ain't Got You" by Alicia Keys.
