Best Yale field hockey moment: After our first week of spring season last year we had the three hardest workouts of our lives. We were tired, sore and completely exhausted. And while it wasn't a moment, it was the feeling of knowing that the girl next to you felt the same way. It was the ultimate feeling of "team" you could ever get.
