Courcy leading the way

For any fledgling team, veteran leadership is a precious commodity, and Kim Courcy is providing just that for the women’s lacrosse program at Massachusetts Maritime, which is in the midst of its second season as a varsity-level squad.

The Warwick Vets alumna is one of the three captains for the Buccaneers, and the senior midfielder has made it abundantly clear that she chooses to lead by example, leading the team in several statistical categories.

Courcy tops the team charts in goals (16), draw controls (25) and ground balls (21), proving that she is equally adept in both the offensive and defensive aspects of the game.

In addition to having a roster mostly comprised of underclassmen, Mass. Maritime has had to deal with the additional adversity of having its first three games postponed due to less-than-cooperative weather.

The Buccaneers finally took to the field on March 14, dropping a 22-9 decision to UMass-Dartmouth. The opening setback was then followed by three more defeats before Mass. Maritime embarked on its current two-game winning streak.
