The Crimson hopes that the lacrosse mini-camp will help build off the energy its showed at Boston College on Monday when its offense gelled to explode for 14 goals led by attackers Lauren Corkery, a sophomore, and Katherine Burrage, a freshman. Both players netted three goals.
"In our game on Monday we pulled our intensity together," Birch said. "That's what was needed for our offense to click."
The Crimson will have to maintain that effort for its games this weekend. Its Ivy rivals always sport strong teams and prove difficult wins for the Crimson.
Last season, the Elis defeated Harvard in overtime at New Haven in a game played in the Yale Bowl.
Yale has rolled over its three opponents so far this year, but has three more games in the interim.
Birch confessed that her team does not know what to expect from the Hawks on Wednesday. St. Joe's is in a transition year. This season it joined its first conference, the Atlantic 10, and has a new coach.
