Why did you choose Maryville University of Saint Louis, Men’s D2? “Maryville was a perfect fit for what I wanted out of my college experience. The school was very surprising. It was very updated and they had so many connections with companies, so going to Maryville I saw that I would have so many opportunities in the business world after college. The sports facilities were amazing as well. The locker room for the team was the nicest out of the schools I visited. They had very updated weight rooms and their own lacrosse field separated from the other sports. The coaches were also a big factor in my decision. They made me feel at home. They also were dedicated to their players and their development as athletes and people. “
Is there anything else you would like to share? “I want to thank my parents for supporting me along my journey. As well as the coaches at Team Illinois and East Ave for helping me become the player I am and putting me in the best opportunities for success. I wouldn’t be committed without the help of these coaches.”
