Name: Jade Antonangeli
Major: Communications
Pregame routine: I go to the trainer, get my ankle taped, and split a Snickers bar with my teammate Emily Mongeau (Westborough, Mass.). I then listen to music with the team and watch them dance while I stretch, fold my bandana, listen to coach, pray, and then I'm good to go.
My favorite athlete: My favorite athlete is Boston Bruins center Patrice Bergeron. I like him because he is a smart player, his stick skills are incredible, and he is one of the most enthusiastic leaders on the team. He leads by example, and uses his knack to see the entire ice to be a consistent playmaker and offensive threat.
Favorite meal in the SNHU Dining Center: My favorite meal at the dining center is the traditional Thanksgiving dinner.
I am currently listening to...: Currently my top Pandora Radio stations have been Dave Matthews, Sugarland, Mac Miller, Hootie, and Rihanna.
Where I see myself in five years: In five years I see myself working at a job that I love and living close to the ocean with friends and family.
What I want to accomplish this season: I want to have the most successful and fun season we can possibly have as a team.
My favorite class at SNHU: My favorite class at SNHU has been public speaking. It was a blast and we learned many communication skills that I will never forget.
Favorite television show/movie: My favorite television show is Modern Family and my favorite movies are Home Alone 1 and 2.
My favorite memory as a student-athlete: It's hard to name just one. Some good memories have been getting to know my teammates, practicing, competing, and traveling together for the majority of our time at school has made many unforgettable memories.
Why I came to SNHU: I came to SNHU because my older brother graduated from here and I always loved coming to visit him and the campus. Getting recruited for lacrosse and the strong communications program made it the right choice for me.
