Why did you choose Bryant? “Initially, I had just applied to Bryant with the intention of walking on. I sent Coach (Mike) Pressler an email saying I had been accepted and I wanted an opportunity to play as a walk on. He responded saying they still had a spot and things started rolling from there. I fell in love with the campus on my visit, and I knew it was a perfect fit. I was looking for a smaller school, and Coach Pressler and the rest of the coaching staff are phenomenal coaches and people.”
What is your HS team’s outlook for the season? “After graduating most of last year’s starting line-up, we had a couple of question marks heading into this season. So far, a lot of the younger players have stepped up and
we are off to a nice start. We are a scrappy, well coached team and I have very high expectations for this year.”
Thank You: “I’d like to thank my parents for supporting me all these years, along with all the coaches that taught me the game of lacrosse and put me in a situation to succeed. I’d also like to thank my goalie, Bryan Cooper, for bailing me out from time to time.”
Other schools considered: Penn State, St. Johns, Tufts
