Free Press: You’re from Gloucester, MA. What made you want to come to USM?
India Lowe: I was looking at a couple of schools, and I didn’t get in to the Division II school I wanted This was the only other school I applied to.
FP: Are you satisfied with the choice you made to come to USM?
IL: Very satisfied because I have met some of the greatest people and made friends with people I know I’ll stay in touch with my whole life.
FP: What was your favorite sport to play while growing up?
IL: I really liked soccer. I played for four years but I switched to softball because it was the same season in my town and all my friends played. So when I got into high school sports seasons changed and I tried field hockey out for fall and that’s why I play it now.
FP: Interesting, do you play any other sports at USM?
IL: The past two years I’ve played softball as well.
FP: Field hockey versus softball, which sport do you enjoy the most?
IL: I like different things about both of the sports. Field hockey I like that we are very competitive and win. But we aren’t nearly as close as I am with my softball team. In softball I love that we are as close as a team and are so together no matter if we come up with a win or loss.
FP: You have Coach Bonny Brown-Denico for both Field Hockey and Softball, what is she like as a coach?
IL: They are two completely different sports so they have different ways of coaching, but I definitely think she likes field hockey better because she seems to always be in a better mood.
FP: Do you think you girls have a chance to win the LEC this year?
IL: We totally do, we just have so many freshmen so it’s like a new team this year. We need to learn how to work together more because we have a lot of really good individual players and when we do work together we form an amazing team. It’s just getting that communication and feel for each other like older teams have.
FP: Lastly, what would you like USM to know about the “real” India Lowe.
IL: I’m single.
