Bandette of The Week Kirsten

This week, we finish up the 2013 Bandette of The Week series with 5th year vet and 2nd year captain Kirsten in the spotlight. Like the reigning Jill of The Week, Kirsten isn't originally from Buffalo. Kirsten grew up on Long Island and came to Buffalo for college, and has even talked about her college experience on tv on occasion. Kirsten loves helping others and in addition to her responsibilities as a Bandettes captain, she's working towards becoming a physical therapist, helping people get back in shape after injuries. Right now the question is whether Kirsten plans to return to the squad next spring. One of the first photos I took of her as a Bandette was with the NLL Champions Cup following the Bandits' last title in 2008. Missing the playoffs had to have left a bad taste in her mouth and I'm sure she wants to be there for a Bandits title while she's on the squad. It was a surreal experience for the fans and as for the 2008 Bandettes, it was the most thrilling moment of their careers.

Shown posing for a photo are Brianna V and Kirsten.
