Of course, he also touched on his inability to perfectly see what’s happening on the field. He doesn’t wear contacts or glasses when he plays. And he said he does not currently know where his glasses are, either.
“I have two pairs of glasses and I’ve lost both,” he said. “I don’t know if I’m in the market for a third pair, so I just chalk it up to bad vision.”
Instead, he uses his intuition to carve up defenses.
“Vision is, more than anything, understanding the game,” he said. “Understanding where they’re sliding from and also the tendencies of the guys I’m playing with.”
It helps to have teammates like Brennan O’Neill, Dyson Williams, Joe Robertson, Phil Robertson, Nakeie Montgomery and plenty of others to pick out of the crowd. Whether Sowers can see the whole field, he’s certainly made the most of his talents in the college lacrosse game.
By season’s end, he could be Division I lacrosse’s all-time leading scorer.
