Why did you choose Cornell? “I chose Cornell because it is the perfect combination of lacrosse and academics. It is an Ivy League school where I can receive an elite education, and has a lacrosse program strong enough to compete for a National Championship. Coaches (Ben) DeLuca,(Paul) Richards, and (Matt) Kerwick are all great, and their emphasis on hard work was one of the things that drew me in the most.”

Thank You: “The two people that were really instrumental in my recruiting process were Coach (Bobby) Wynne (Salisbury coach) and Coach (Chris) Surran (my Iron Horse coach). They both moved mountains to help me get recruited and I can’t thank them enough.”
