Earlier this semester, members of the Temple women's lacrosse team went to Comcast headquarters in Center City to kick off a program that links students to alumni who work for the cable-TV provider. The program, Comcast Connectors, is the brainchild of Kristi DeSimone, a Temple alumna who works as a program manager at the company. Head coach Bonnie Rosen leapt at the idea. The off-season offers a limited number of time slots for practice and training she notes. But there’s no reason that the players have to spend all of that time on the field. "Being at Temple and having access to the city of Philadelphia is a huge asset," Rosen said. "To not take advantage of that is crazy."
