HOME ABOUT US OUR SERVICES MEDIA ROOM PATIENT FEEDBACK CONTACT US RESOURCES

As a parent I am so happy to have found Jeremy and have a new found sense of security for my son who was struck in the face-head by a bat during an open gym. Yes it is hard to believe. As he was healing from multiple facial fractures and a concussion I needed to be assured we could protect him in sports, specifically baseball. Jeremy was our answer after some research I found his skill set, product, and references fit our need.

My son has surpassed the fear of repeat injury with his protective mask and it has already deflected a foul ball. As a pitcher I was always worried about a hot shot to his face and as a short stop he had taken balls in the face before. I believe our son is alot safer now and he will play with confidence while I watch with confidence as a proud parent of a safe child.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Freshman defender Elizabeth Jacobson of the Harvard field hockey team was tabbed Ivy League Co-Rookie of the Week, the league announced Tuesday. The newcomer tallied the first assist and goal of her career over the last seven days. Jacobson shared the award with Brown's Alexis Miller, who also had a goal and an assist.

Jacobson started the week with an assist in Harvard's 4-1 win over Bryant Sept. 24. She sent a pass into the middle of the circle where Noel Painter redirected it into the goal to seal the Crimson's victory in the second half.

After contributing to Harvard's first Ivy League victory of the season, a 1-0 shutout of Brown Sept. 29, Jacobson scored her first career goal versus Quinnipiac Sept. 30. With Harvard trailing 1-0 in the first half, the Branchburg, N.J., native took a pass from Bridget McGillivray and sent it to the back of the cage to even the score. Jacobson wrapped her stick around the back side of a Quinnipiac defender on the right side of the cage, as McGillivray crossed the ball from the left to pull the Bobcat's goalie out of position and allow Jacobson to put the ball across the line.

The award is the first of Jacobson's career and Harvard's first Ivy League honor of the season. The last time a Crimson player had won a Rookie of the Week award was Oct. 25 of last season, when Noel Painter was chosen.
