Both had high hopes for where their spring seasons could head.

Instead, Siena lacrosse players Kaitlyn Lembo and Anthony Tebbano find themselves focusing on much different roles than the ones they envisioned playing this spring for the Saints' men's and women's teams. Both work as medical technicians at Loudonville Assisted Living Residence, and each has taken on additional hours at the facility in the last month as their schedules freed up and the need for help increased amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

"And I would definitely consider my job as a coping mechanism for the loss of lacrosse and my [regular] school schedule," said Lembo, a senior attack. "This has been a great way to still see people."

"For sure," agreed Tebbano, a junior goalie who played at Shenendehowa High School before heading to Siena. "I'm extremely grateful to have the opportunity to be working — and not just working, but working in healthcare because it's such an important job, especially right now. I feel honored to have the opportunity to be helping people out."
