Senior forward Lane Herbert has an interesting backstory: She grew up on a farm in Celina, Texas, helping raise cows, horses, goats, chickens, dogs and cats, and her mother drove her 5.5 hours each way to field hockey practice. 

At Northwestern, she’s studying biology with plans of going to medical school and focusing on women’s sports medicine, a field she says is very understudied. She’s also been a major advocate among student-athletes for having conversations about mental health challenges and guiding teammates to the resources they have at their disposal.
