4:32Now PlayingHoward University’s women’s lacrosse team is staging a dramatic comeback, thanks to the leadership of Coach Karen Healy-Silcott, Assistant Coach Alexis Joseph, and team captain Kayla Robertson. After a tough season, this trio is reshaping the program and breaking down barriers in a sport that’s traditionally unwelcoming to Black athletes.
Coach Healy-Silcott, drawn to Howard by the chance to make a difference, is dedicated to turning the program around and providing Black athletes like Kayla Robertson the opportunity to excel. Robertson, now a fifth-year grad student, highlights how being on a diverse team has transformed her experience in lacrosse. Meanwhile, Coach Joseph underscores the need for more inclusive environments in sports, emphasizing Howard’s role in making lacrosse accessible and welcoming to Black girls.
Marc Lamont Hill is spotlighting this inspiring story in connection with the 2024 Annual National HBCU Week Conference, themed “Raising the Bar: Where Excellence and Opportunity Meet”, scheduled for September 15-19, 2024, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Hill’s analysis will delve into how this revival at Howard reflects broader changes in sports and education.
