Ginger Stein reflects on her time at Lynn

One of the first commits in Lynn Women’s Lacrosse history, Ginger Stein, looks ahead to graduation from Lynn University in the Spring of 2023 with a degree in Psychology.

            Lynn University was not always on the radar for Ginger, but when she got notice that the school was looking to begin a women’s lacrosse program, suddenly all of her boxes were checked. In her own eyes, “the opportunity to be a part of the foundation of the program was a huge selling point. It was such an amazing feeling knowing I would be making history being a part of the inaugural class”.

            When she began at Lynn, she was faced with the challenge of building the program from the ground up, completely from scratch, and was completely bought in for the challenge. As the years went on, Stein overcame challenge after challenge, eventually reaping the benefits in the end. During her junior year, Ginger was named a captain for the team, “having the honor to be named one of the teams captains was one of my greatest achievements. I would have never expected myself to have the chance to play college ball, and then being seen as a leader my teammates and coaches is something I am so proud of”.  While being thankful for her list of achievements while repping the blue and white, she also is able to recognize the hardships that have made her the leader she is today. Learning to be thankful for every second of every day has been crucial to her development, as well as recognizing that not many people get the opportunity she has been given, and remaining grateful for the experience she has received at Lynn.

            Her successes could not be recognized without acknowledging her own hardships, “dealing with confidence issues has always been a challenge of mine. I had tendencies to get inside my head on the field, doubting my abilities which sometimes would hinder my performance”. Learning how to overcome these challenges is what Stein has accredited a majority of her success at Lynn to.

As her senior season rapidly approaches, Stein provides the advice that, “you must always be thankful, do not take a second of it for granted. Time seriously has flown by and it has been the best time of my life”. Looking forward, Stein hopes to finish her masters in Psychology at Lynn University, and for her beloved team to take home a conference championship in 2023.
