Why did you choose Tufts? “I chose Tufts University because it is the best place for me both athletically and academically. Tufts offers me a liberal arts feel in an urban setting which is something I really value. I feel that academics are the highest priority for me, and I’m looking forward to competing for a national championship with a great coaching staff!”
HS team’s 2017 highlights: “We finished 13-6, which is the best record in program history. We qualified for the District 3 playoffs, and hosted a district playoff game for the first time in school history.”
Thank You: “I would first and foremost like to thank my parents and brother for their constant support and enthusiasm. Lacrosse would not be nearly as exciting and enjoyable without them by my side! I would also like to thank my teammates and coaches on my high school team who push me to be better every day. Additionally, I would like to recognize the Duke’s program and coaching staff, whom I cannot thank enough for their advice and guidance in this very important decision. Coming from a small private school in central PA, my lacrosse opportunities were limited until I joined Duke’s. I would not be the lacrosse player I am today without Duke’s LC and I am forever grateful. Finally, I would like to acknowledge the integral role my teachers and college guidance counselors have had in my process. Their encouragement and passion for academic greatness is contagious, and I will forever value my time at LCDS.”
