Author Edward Lee opens his article after including a picture from the previous game as well as the teams' outcome from their matchup against each other last year in comparison to the score of the most recent game. Lee uses ethos and logos whilst incorporating very specific facts of the game, such as the amount of time each goal took to be scored. Lee uses pathos as he interviews the players for their take on this game and what they believed they needed to improve on this year that the were lacking in last year. More logos is used as each play of the game is described, along with who scored what. Lee then goes on to describe the comeback of one of the Hopkins players who had a knee injury last year. Lee heavily incorporates the use of logos in his article, mainly for those who are fans of lacrosse or for those who play it. This was confusing for me to read, however, because I do not know all the technicalities of lacrosse. The quotations from coaches and players add a more personal touch to the article, making it more interesting to read and less robotic-sounding.
