What will you major in/study? Undecided/Business
Why did you choose Lehigh? “Lehigh University is an unbelievable academic institution paired with an equally excellent lacrosse program that is only getting better. The campus is beautiful. A big factor in my decision were the coaches. Coach (Kevin) Cassese is tremendously respected in the lacrosse community and for good reason. He has been a winner his entire life and I would love to help continue that tradition. The other two coaches, Coach (Brendan) Callahan and Coach (Errol) Wilson, have also had great careers and are unbelievable people. The school seemed like a perfect fit for me to continue my lacrosse career in addition to an amazing education.”
What are your thoughts on this past HS lacrosse season/team’s outlook for next season? “Last season was our least impressive season at Tower Hill in over five years with only getting to the State Quarterfinals. We are certainly looking to rebound from that. We lost a few prominent players on our team, including our goalie and starting midfield, but we return our starting defense and attack. It should be an exciting season.”
Thank You: “First, I would like to thank my Dukes Coaches; Coach Ebe, Coach Christmas, Coach Fallon, Coach Vetrone, Coach Bohner, Coach Sankey, Coach Mackrides, and Coach Vosburgh. I would not be where I am without the excellent exposure the Dukes Lacrosse Club has given me throughout the years along with the great coaching I’ve received.
“Second, I would like to thank the coaching staff at Tower Hill School; Coach duPont, Coach Unthank, Coach Aitken and all the other people associated with Tower Hill’s lacrosse program. Tower Hill has given me one of the top high school educations in the country that has helped me grow as a player and more importantly as a person.
“Lastly, I want to thank my entire family for being there for me the entire way.”
