Lexi Dinsmore – Widener University (Field Hockey)
Major: Biology/Physical Therapy
Reasons for choosing Widener: “I chose Widener because I loved the campus, the coaches and the team. I wanted a smaller campus with small class sizes, and Widener provides that. Widener also offers the major for my career path.”
What was the progression that led you to competing in field hockey at the collegiate level? “I have played field hockey since I was little, and a chance to play four more years in college was a no brainer. I love the sport and all the people it let me meet, so I knew I wanted to play in college.”
Coach Becky Spahr says: “Lexi Dinsmore was a defender for us, and she’s going to Widener. She is one of the best defenders I’ve ever coached. She has lots of hockey knowledge, and she’s improved every year. She’s a great leader from the backfield and really knows how to organize our defense. She’s going to do a great job in college, and I’m really excited about what she’ll do at Widener.”
