Why did you choose Widener? “I chose Widener University because of the great academic opportunities that they have to offer, especially as a business major. The lacrosse program is also a great fit for me and the way Coach (Jamie) Lockard and his staff run the program sets the team up for success. The coaches and players made me feel like Widener was a home for me.”
