New Orleans may have the immortal reputation of being the nation's premier rowdy party town, and for a few members of the men's lacrosse team, their fall break trip to the hurricane-ravaged town was loud, indeed.It was also dusty, sweaty and hard, complete with long days incessantly punctuated by the sounds of nails hitting hammers and the buzzing of saws ? a clamor far removed from the rowdiness of Bourbon Street.Over Fall Break, about a dozen teammates flew down to the city to volunteer their time and muscle for Habitat for Humanity, spending a week helping to build houses in an area destroyed by the floods that followed Hurricane Katrina.Senior co-captain and attackman Scott Sowanick and junior midfielder Mike Gaudio ? currently in the middle of a year off from Princeton ? took the lead in putting the trip together."It's pretty unique: Princeton is one of the only schools that gets this week-long break," Sowanick said.
