Why did you choose Bucknell University, Men’s D1? “With my mom being an alum, I definitely had some favoritism toward Bucknell. When I finally heard from them and talked to them, everything just seemed perfect. They said that I was their No. 1 pick at goalie for the ’22 class, and I just think I matched well. I’d visited a few times and then went again for a prospect day earlier this year, and I just loved the school. I’m very comfortable with the coaches and the campus. It’s the right size and a good academic fit, and it’s a good lacrosse school as well. I was looking for a smaller campus with a more intimate feel, and I like that Bucknell isn’t an overwhelming place. I feel more connected there.”
Is there anything else you would like to share? “Thank you to my parents, SHP and Leading Edge coaches, and to Goalie Smith, Tag Lacrosse, and Adrenaline Fitness.”
What other colleges did you consider? Dartmouth, Villanova, Hobart, Rutgers
