Esme Cole stands in her home in White River Junction, Vt., on Wednesday, Aug. 15, 2018. Cole played lacrosse and field hockey while attending Hartford High School. Cole, who has played lacrosse since fifth or sixth grade, felt relief when she made the decision to leave the sport in college. While the field hockey team was always welcoming to her, she faced bullying and "cliques" on her college lacrosse team that made her feel unwelcome. She currently has joined the Kenyon College women's rugby club team and is heading into her senior year of college. (Valley News - August Frank) Copyright Valley News.
