One of three captains on the Bates women’s lacrosse team, Isla Cotter ’24 of Hanover, N.H., was mic’d up during a recent practice on Garcelon Field, where she keeps things loose for her Bobcats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s what senior leadership has always looked like for Bobcat teams: keeping things chill, but also knowing when the team needs to focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I didn’t know Vanessa Hudgens was pregnant,” Cotter says while waiting in line during a drill. “But after this, we really have to lock in and focus.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funny and informative, Cotter is here there and everywhere during practice, candidly sharing the best and worst parts of practice. Plus tips! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Life hack,” she offers. “If you brush your teeth before molding your mouth guard, it tastes like mint.” Good to know! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And she’s self-deprecating. “My brother was like, “Isla, you can’t be annoying on [mic’d up],” she tells her teammates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
