CALDWELL, N.J. -- A mainstay on Caldwell bowling's dominant CACC run the past three years, senior Madison Lacey remains a model of positivity as she takes on the additional role of captain in 2025-26.

The psychology major from Browns Mills in Burlington County, N.J., took some time prior to last weekend's Bud Whitman Memorial to talk with CaldwellAthletics.com about her Caldwell experience, the new season and her plans after graduation.

What is your main goal for your team this season, both on and off the field?
My main goal for the team this year is to work cohesively together and progress as a team. We do not have to win every match but if we all show some improvement over the course of the season, it shows how much effort was put in by each player.

What is a team motto or a core value that will drive your team this season?
I feel like our mental game and team bonding activities will drive us to success this season.

What is the one thing you want fans to know about your team?
We have a great work ethic and are very supportive of each other .

Who is a player on your team that we should be watching out for this season, and why
Sophomore Faith Perrin is someone you should be keeping a close eye on . She is a very effective bowler who became the first player in Caldwell history to bowl a 300!

What is one personal goal you're striving for this season?
My goal is to improve my spare percentage.

What are you most looking forward to in your first season as a team captain?
I am looking forward to leading the team with a good positive mindset and making sure everyone bowls well.

After you graduate, what are you hoping to do next?
I am planning to complete my master's in psychology at Caldwell after graduation.

Is there anything else you'd like to share about your team or this season that we haven't asked about?
The team is incredibly unique this year and each bowler has their own strengths that fit well with the rest of the team. No matter how long each person plays we will be able to incorporate their special abilities to win as much as possible.
