What will you major in/study? Communications/Marketing
Why did you choose Seton Hill? “This school offered a distinguished lacrosse program that can compete for a National Title at the Division 2 level. Also, I will be getting a very good education which I can use for the rest of my life. The family aspect of the Griffins lacrosse program was something I was looking for in a school. I’m looking forward to four years where I can make a second family.”
What are your thoughts on this past HS lacrosse season/team’s outlook for next season? “This past lacrosse season was better than I expected it to be. This coming lacrosse season there will be a solid senior class and a defensive unit which will be playing together for the third straight year. I am looking forward to making the most of my senior year and hopefully competing for a League title.
Thank You: “I’d like to thank Chris Sweet and Kevin Martin for helping me in my recruiting process through Sweetlax (both are extraordinary lacrosse coaches with very good connections). Bruce Teague for supporting me since my freshman year of High School and giving me great confidence.
“Lastly my parents for driving me around and ultimately being my number one support system.
