What will you major in/study? Pre-Physicians Assistant, Nursing

Why did you choose CUW? “CUW was a perfect fit for me as it was one of the programs that had my area of study in health care. I liked the scenic campus location with views of Lake Michigan and the school size. I was very impressed with Head Coach (Michael) Fahey’s focus and determination to make a NCAA tournament appearance and I feel I can immediately contribute to that goal. I also wanted to be part of a diverse team that embraces different playing styles.”

HS team’s outlook for lacrosse season? “Providence Catholic is a relatively new program and we continue to develop. I am excited for the 2017 season because of the new young talent coming in to supplement our returning players. I have been fortunate to be part of the varsity team for a few years now and I share Coach Ryan Kearney’s vision of building a strong foundation for our program. Our goal is to tally more wins than the previous year and we are trending towards that accomplishment.”

Thank You: “First, I would like to thank my parents for believing in me, keeping me motivated and taking me to events all over the US and Canada. I would also like to thank Coach Ron Elijah, Coach Kevin Carruthers and the London Blue Devils for teaching me Canadian junior box. That experience really advanced my game and I look forward to our upcoming 2017 season. Finally, I would like to thank Orland Park Chief’s Coach Tom Haggerty for allowing me to help grow the game as a volunteer community youth coach.”

Other schools considered: Robert Morris (PA), Palm Beach Atlantic, Wittenberg, Westminster (PA), Shenandoah, Bishops-Quebec, U of Toronto
