"My experience at Bloomsburg University, and being a student athlete under Shannon Hertz has been nothing but amazing! I have met my forever friends and have learned so much about myself through academics and playing lacrosse. Shannon Hertz understands each of her players needs and adjust her coaching style to fit each player. She is very passionate about the sport and her job. So some would say she is intense, but she knows how to push each individual academically and athletically. Personally as a player, I needed the intense moments. The hard practices, the losses, the fitness, it all made me the strong woman I am today. As a team, we always knew how to have fun, through the good and bad times. Every win and every loss, we learned as a team and grew from every experience. I have made my forever friends here! Shannon knows how to make college feel like home while you’re away. She’s always giving away gear, creating a fun atmosphere around the holidays (christmas party, Easter egg hunts), hosting dinner and pizza party’s at the field house, and even checking in on our mental health. I couldn’t imagine playing anywhere else or under another coach. If I could do it all over again, I would still pick Bloomsburg!! "

"Coach brought my daughter together with her, to this day, best friends. We had the best experience as parents, tailgating, meeting the other parents and cheering on our girls. Nothing negative, wonderful experience. "
