Graduation Year: 2015
Position: Defense
College Choice: University of Albany
Club Affiliations: Team United (CNY) and Road Warriors
Major lacrosse honors: Brine Nationals, Empire State Cup (Team Central), Capital Challenge Showcase All-Star.
What will you major in/study? Computer Science or Accounting
Why did you choose the school? “I chose UAlbany for many reasons. It is close to home which is very important, and it has brought in other Native American players that is also a great factor in my decision. Add that with UAlbany’s great Division 1 lacrosse program, and the way they play; it’s a perfect fit for me. The coaching staff is another reason I chose UAlbany. They are all very nice and helped me ease into the committing process; that is what sealed the deal for me. I knew that the University of Albany was the right place for me, because of all of those factors.”
What is your team’s outlook for next season? “We are just starting up our second season here at IMG. Our plan is to travel around the U.S and play all of the high caliber teams. We hope to gain a national ranking and become recognized as a top notch lacrosse program. We have a lot of high quality players and we are fundamentally good. We do well in transition, our offense knows how to push the ball, and work with each other to finish the ball every single. Our defense is outstanding; we pressure hard and work well with each other to gain the ball back for our offense. We also have great goalies to back us up. I can’t wait to see what we can do against the competition this spring.”
Thank You: “I’d like to my family especially for all that they have done for me. Also I’d like to thank my coaches that have helped me to become the player I am; I don’t know where I would be without them; also my teammates, the Onondaga community, and my friends for all of the support they’ve given me over the years.
Other schools considered? Loyola and UMBC
