I felt I had to step up. I'm the other captain on the team (with Webster), and captains are supposed to lead by example. I told myself that I would go out and have a good second half, and not force things like I was in the first half.

Not many varsity captains would do that. But Ian sees his role of captain as being the leader of the entire lacrosse program.

Being a captain on this team is a big honor,

Every boat needs a rudder.

I'm very proud of my seniors. Wonders and Casey were phenomenal team captains. Some of the seniors haven't been out for a couple of years and came back. At a year where we were 3-15, there is still a lot to be proud of.

[Unlike previous Ryder Cup captains who have stressed that being the captain is their sole role, Tom Lehman does not shy away from talk of playing, too.] If I'm playing at that level, or I am definitely one of them, the answer to would I play would be absolutely yes, ... I'm not there yet. But I'm working on it. But we want the 12 best guys.
