Why did you choose Bryant? “The coaches and girls made me feel at home as soon as I stepped on the campus. The coaches are enthusiastic and have great energy and vision for the team. Bryant has the right combination of a competitive lacrosse program and challenging academics, all on a smaller-sized campus that is not too far away from home.”
HS team’s Outlook for 2017 season: “Penncrest is in the very competitive Central league. We continue to improve each year as a team and have worked hard to strengthen our position in the league. We will be competitive in every game, and our goal is for the team to finish in the top half of the league and make playoffs this year.”
Thank You: “Thank you to Coach DJ, Ultimate Coaches Becky Lynch, Colleen Dawson, Bri Timony, Duck, and Stevie McNesby, Penncrest Coaches Robin Keevan, Jackie Baker, and Crystal Fountain, and Coach Lorraine Beers. Thank you also to my brothers — Dylan (Saint Joseph’s University) and Liam (Widener University) and cousins Summer (Drexel) and Shane (Bucknell) who always let me play with them, and my parents who always made sure I was prepared for all my games. I also thank all of my teammates on Ultimate and Penncrest who make lacrosse fun, especially my goalie friends Maddie, Sam, and Hersh. As well, I appreciate all of my friends and family who have supported me throughout everything I’ve accomplished.”
Other schools considered: Gettysburg, Franklin and Marshall, Dickinson, Ursinus, Swarthmore, Saint Josephs, Widener, Tufts, Washington and Lee
