What will you major in/study? Undecided/engineering
Why did you choose UVA?? “The University of Virginia just felt right when I was on campus. I had a great meeting with the coaches and really enjoyed the city of Charlottesville as well as the campus itself. UVA will give me the chance to play ACC lacrosse and attend a great university that is fairly close to home. The coaching staff was a major factor in my decision as well.”
What is your HS team’s outlook for next season? “Our team finished second in the Founders’ League last year. We only graduated four players who played large roles and Coach Bell has filled the team with new players. Coach Bell is an incredible coach and on top of that, a remarkable recruiter. I look forward to playing this season with a great group of returners and new players. I expect that we will battle for the league title and take a run at the New England West title.”
