Q&A With Savannah Sweitzer
3/7/2023 9:45:00 AM | Women's Lacrosse
We continue our Q&A series with senior Savannah Sweitzer.
What is it like playing college lacrosse with your sister?
It's amazing to have her with me on this journey. It's been special. She's someone I can lean on. She's an incredible lacrosse player but also a great person. And she's good to have by my side through the ups and downs of college lacrosse and college life in general. It's pretty awesome and very special.
Â
When did you start playing lacrosse and why did you pick up the sport?
I started playing lacrosse in the third grade. My older brother started playing and we always did what he did. He played football, so Delaney and I played football. So, when he started playing lacrosse, we really wanted to play boys lacrosse. They didn't have a girls team in our area, so we played boys. I was actually a goalie before Delaney. But I was scared so she got in goal. That's how that came to be.
Â
Did you, Delaney and your brothers play together in the backyard?
We were always in the backyard, fighting. It usually turned into a fist fight. But it made us better, tougher.
Â
Do you have any advice for a young lacrosse player?
You can do anything you put your mind to. Just believe in yourself. Put in the time, put in the hard work consistently. Really anything is possible.
Â
You came to Syracuse prior to your junior season. How would you describe the culture of the program?
I feel like the moment I stepped on campus everyone was so welcoming. They take you exactly for who you are. You're allowed to be yourself – from the administration, to the coaching staff, to the kids on the team. I feel it's a cliché and people say it all the time, but we are a family. Syracuse lacrosse is family. There's on the field things and off the field things you are going to need assistance with just with the ebbs and flows of college life. I feel like the coaches and my teammates really have your back and you can really feel that support. I've been here such a short amount of time and I felt that.
Â
You've been mentioned for this many times so, other than you, who is the funniest on the team?
Someone that makes me laugh is Meaghan Tyrrell. She is just a one-line machine. She's so nonchalantly funny that it makes it better. We have a lot of good comedy on the team, a lot of good vibes. Sierra Cockerille also makes me laugh.
Â
You've been mentioned for this as well. Who is the best dancer?
I do get best dancer sometimes! I'm a goofball so whatever goes. Olivia Adamson throws in some good moves.
Â
Who is the best dressed?
I would say Sierra Cockerille. I would say she and I have very similar styles. We're always wearing the same things.
