Rocky River High School (OH) 2016 goalie Joe Artiste has committed to play Division III lacrosse at Aurora University.

Joe Artiste ledger:

High School: Rocky River High School, OH

Graduation Year: 2016

Position: Goalie

College Choice: Aurora University

Club Affiliation: Xcelerate Cleveland

Lacrosse Honors: All-State Junior Year, 2x All-Region, Team MVP, 2x Varsity Captain, Chicago Lacrosse Cup All-Star, UpLax All-Star, Plain Dealer All-Star. State Runner up freshmen year.

What will you major in/study? Business

Why did you choose Aurora? “Aurora is right outside my favorite city of Chicago. The school is a smaller size school, in a big city. They have a great business program with a lot of connections in the Chicago area. The lacrosse team has a short but amazing history that I want to be a part of.”

Outlook for 2016 HS season? “Last year we were a young team with a small number of returning varsity players. This year we are still young but are now experienced. The team is going to have a fun year but we all know we want to get back to the state championship just like 2012 and 2013.”

Thank You: “I would first like to thank my life long coach Gary Cintron, without him in my life coaching me from 3rd grade through last summer I would never be the lacrosse player or man I am today.

“I would also like to thank my high school coach Ted Dimond for all of his help in the recruiting process.

“Lastly, I would like to thank my friends and family for the support they have given me throughout my entire life.”

Other schools considered: Salisbury, Western New England, Robert Morris, Concordia, Tampa
