Thank You: “I want to thank Coach Dick, Coach King, and Coach Shapiro for training me over the years at Quaker City. Without them I would not be the lacrosse player I am today.

“I want to thank Coach Duck for all the help she has given me over the years with lacrosse and the recruiting process.

“Lastly, I would like to thank my family. I would like to thank my parents for all the time they put into my lacrosse career, from coaching me to sitting on the sidelines every game. I want to thank my grandparents for their support and attending all of my games despite weather conditions. Finally, I want to thank my brother for the many times he practiced with me and the support he has given me over the years.”
