For those who grow up in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, the most common sports to play while growing up are baseball, basketball, football and hockey. For Cole and Carrie Froemming, they found a love for a new up-and-coming sport in their state: lacrosse.
“Minnesota is not a hotbed (for lacrosse) compared to the East Coast or anything like that,” Carrie said. “We are the only two in our family who play lacrosse, and I honestly don’t think my parents knew what lacrosse was until we were kinda introduced to it.”
Cole, a senior defender on the men’s lacrosse team, said lacrosse has just made its way to Minnesota in the last decade or two.
