Why did you choose Southwestern? “When I went on my visit in the fall I felt so welcome. The team was so nice and made me feel like I was already part of the family. Coach (Matthew) Grosso was so great and made Southwestern feel like home.”

Outlook for 2015 HS season? “If we continue to work as hard as we have in the past we will defend the state championship for the fourth year in a row.”

Thank You: “I would like to thank my parents for always coming to my games, supporting me and picking me up when I have a bad game. I would also like to thank my oldest brother, Aron, for showing me how important it is to always give 100% and my brother, Andrew for being my best friend and showing me the importance of always having a positive attitude no matter the outcome of a game. I would like to especially thank my older sister, Riley, for being my biggest inspiration in lacrosse and in life. Her determination and her success at Limestone College has always driven me to become a better player.

“A big thank you to Jessica Livingston and Tyna Murphy for bringing my game to a whole new level and making me work hard 100% of the time no matter how tired I am.

“Finally, I would like to thank my high school coach, Dave Podolak, for teaching me to be a better player, and leader and for making my high school lacrosse career the greatest four years.”
