On her first day of lacrosse practice at the College of the Holy Cross, Taylor Zebrowski looked around and asked herself, 'What have I gotten myself into?'

Just a few months earlier, Zebrowski had completed a wonderful career at Verona High School, where she holds the school scoring records in both soccer and lacrosse. She was perhaps the biggest fish in a small pond.
