Nora Vee

Lakeville North senior goalkeeper Nora Vee came up short in her bid to help the girls’ lacrosse team to its second consecutive state tournament trip. Here is a closer look at Vee.

The best movie I’ve seen in the past year? “Inception.”

Three songs I never skip on my iPod are? “Banana Pancakes” by Jack Johnson; “Benny and the Jets” and “Something Good Can Work” by Two Door Cinema Club.

Three words my friends or teammates might use to describe me? Determined; funny; encouraging.

How did you balance school and sports during the year? I get all of my homework done during the day so that way I don’t have to worry about it after practice.

At my first varsity practice, I felt … nervous. I was the only freshman with a bunch of juniors and seniors.

How did you get started playing lacrosse? I was looking for something other than soccer to play in the spring.

What was your most memorable moment as a high school athlete? Being the first Lakeville lacrosse team to go to state.

What is the best sports advice you ever received? Just go out and have fun!

If you could change one thing about high school sports, what would it be? Girl refs for girl sports.

In 10 years, I hope I’m … teaching high school math and coaching lacrosse.

Do you have a secret talent? I always catch the most fish in my family.
