This sport requires both strength and endurance. Games consist of two 40-minute halves with no time-outs—players run as many as seven miles per match at high intensity—so it’s critical that the team is in peak physical shape. “You don’t have to be big and muscly to play,” says assistant coach Tony Dow, who oversees the strength and conditioning regimen for BC’s team, which is ranked 13th in the nation. “There are different positions for different types of people.”
