WHITE TRAVELS TO AUSTRALIA WITH BEYOND SPORTS PROGRAM

BOSTON, Mass. - Emmanuel College junior Sophia White (Monterey, Calif.) traveled to Australia from July 27th- August 7th for Beyond Sports' First Annual Australia Women's Lacrosse Tour.

White joined a team of all-conference honorees and statistical leaders from colleges across the country to take on Australia's top club teams in three friendly games.

In addition to the competition component of the trip, athletes also provided two sports clinics for local Australian youth.

The group also explored the sights of Sydney, Cairns and Melbourne with opportunities to visit the Great Barrier Reef, Sydney Harbour, Bondi Beach Coastal Walk, and encounter wildlife such as koalas, kangaroos, wallabies and wombats.

Beyond Sports, founded in 2010, is the first study abroad program designed specifically for student-athletes. To date, they have hosted athletes from over 350 different colleges across the country through summer, Jan-term and semester programs in Costa Rica, South Africa, Spain and Australia.
