>>CROSSE CULTURE
Salamone played midfield at Duke from 2010-13.
We’ve played a really large role in the discussions of governance restructure and reshaping the NCAA to this point.
What types of topics do you give feedback on? Recruiting
is something we’re asked about a lot, given that we’re the closest to that age of where a recruit would be. We get asked a lot about how we felt going through the recruiting process. We provide feedback on playing and practice seasons. That certainly impacts student-athletes day-to-day. During my time the speed of the recruiting process has stepped up so drastically. Now you have freshmen committing so early. It’s a major decision for a 14- and 15-year-old to make.
You played three seasons at Duke. Why not four? I redshirted my freshman year. I did have a fi fth year, but I had three knee surgeries. I had two ACL injuries and a torn meniscus my senior fall, and I wound up suffering a stress fracture in my senior season. I love lacrosse, and it’s what kept me fi ghting back every time I came back from surgery, but I knew my body was done at a certain point, too. As much as I love the sport, I’m happy to give my body a break.
What career path do you want to pursue? I’m working in
ticket operations and compliance at Duke. I would like to pursue a career in broadcast journalism with a law degree. I’m looking at schools to do a joint degree, maybe in sports law. I took a class in TV journalism at Duke, and did an internship at Fox News. I realized I had a passion for that area. I’ve always been interested in law, so I’m looking to merge those together. — Corey McLaughlin

One-Time Laxer Hauschka a Super Bowl Champ Super Bowl XLVIII started off the foot of a
former Middlebury attackman, Steven Hauschka. The one-time laxer at the Division III school in Vermont, in his third season as the Seattle Seahawks’ kicker, nailed two fi eld goals and knocked through fi ve extra points in Seattle’s 43-8 victory over the Denver Broncos. Hauschka majored in neuroscience, and played football and soccer as well at Middlebury. He kicked for one season at N.C. State in 2007 before his NFL career.
LANGTON TABBED ALTERNATE FOR OLYMPIC BOBSLED TEAM Former Cornell midfi elder Chris Langton, who was profi led in Lacrosse Magazine’s November “Lifestyles” space, was tabbed as one of two alternates for the U.S. Olympic bobsled team ahead of the winter games in February in Sochi, Russia. His older brother, Steve, a two-time world champion, was chosen to compete on Team USA’s top sled, USA-1. Chris Langton was set to practice with the team in Russia and be in line to compete in case of injury. It was a realization of a goal. Four years ago, he sat in front of a TV in Ithaca, N.Y., with teammates Rob Pannell and Mitch McMichael and watched Steve walk in the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada.
Princeton All-American Goes Hollywood Former Princeton All-American attackman Sean Hartofolis saw a dream
realized with the completion of his debut feature fi lm “Beach Pillows,” which became available on iTunes, Amazon and cable On Demand in January. He began writing the script for the movie at his parents’ house on Long Island after graduating from Princeton in 2003. Hartofi lis, who is third on Princeton’s all-time scoring list, wrote, directed and produced the movie, which came together after living in Los Angeles for three years, during which time he also had a stint playing for Major League Lacrosse’s now-defunct Riptide franchise. The fi lm was shot in New York with the fi nancial help of friends, family and members of the lacrosse community.
DREW GETS A FRONT-ROW SUPER BOWL HALFTIME SEAT Twenty members of the Drew women’s lacrosse team, coach Julia Steier and assistant Rachel Peregrim were on the fi eld for the Super Bowl halftime show featuring Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. They were the only students from the New Jersey school selected to be in the on-fi eld audience by Super Bowl casting. They also were also at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., for rehersals ahead of the big game.
“Running through the MetLife tunnel onto the fi eld with thousands of people screaming was the most surreal moment,” Steier told Lacrosse Magazine. “The moment the girls hit the turf, they put those weeks of conditioning to work and sprinted toward the stage. The energy, the lights, the clamor, the thunderous noise of the JumboTron playing the commercials, every fi ber on our bodies and every sense was heightened. There’s nothing like it.”
Berger, Rabil Tie the Knot Team USA midfi elder Kelly Berger, when
introduced during pregame warmups and during mid-January’s Champion Challenge, was for the fi rst time in competition announced as Kelly Rabil. She and men’s star Paul Rabil were married Jan. 4. Players on the sideline still yelled “Yeah, Berger,” after good plays while others said “Rabil.”
