March 14, 2012
By Reena Gilani

This week's Off the Grid features the four captains of the women's lacrosse team: Cacki Helmer, Shannon McHugh, Jessi Steinberg and Katie Kirk. 

I never leave the house without my:

Cacki: Right now, the Hunger Games series. I'll read in class if I have to.

Shannon: Lucky necklace. 

Jessi: Personalized Dunkin Donuts card. 

Katie: Chocolate. I'm addicted and you never know when you'll get hungry.

I could listen to ____ all day long and not get tired of it.

Cacki: "Call Me Maybe"...but seriously.

Shannon: "Take a Back Road" by Rodney Atkins. 

Jessi: Justin Bieber. 

Katie: Chicken Fried (Zac Brown Band).

Halle Berry's engagement ring is:

Cacki: I googled...apparently it's "mystical".

Shannon: I had to google to see what it looked like.

Jessi: Nice I guess. 

Katie: Green. 

This 60-degree weather makes me:

Cacki: Want to play lax...duh.

Shannon: LAX.

Jessi: Tan/happy — unbeatable combo.

Katie: Act like a loopy two-year-old who just woke up from a nap — dazed and confused.

Favorite place in Collegetown:

Cacki: Souvlaki. Peter, you da bomb! 

Shannon: All the good places have shut down.

Jessi: 410 Elmwood trampoline — come one, come all. 

Katie: Sitting on the 215 College porch swing. 

I'm most excited for Spring Break because:

Cacki: We're going to beat Notre Dame on St. Patrick's Day... That's gonna hurt. 

Shannon: I get to have a pinnie tan and a goggle tan. 

Jessi: Disney is a place where all your dreams come true ;)

Katie: We get to go to Disney World...sorta. We'll actually just play lacrosse really close to it.

Most unusual food I like:

Cacki: Fruit leather. I ate it a lot when I was younger and I recently rediscovered my love for it, so my kitchen's always stocked. 

Shannon: Extra extra honey in my yogurt. 

Jessi: Tofu. 

Katie: Chocolate goes with almost anything. 

My March Madness bracket is:

Cacki: CUSE! 

Shannon: CUSE all the way!!!

Jessi: Nonexistent. 

Katie: Georgetown winning...I'm from Maryland, so I'll be happy if UNC, Duke, or Syracuse doesn't win (sorry Quey and Cack).
