What will you major in/study? Secondary Education
Why did you choose school? “I chose Ursinus because I think it was the best fit for my academically and athletically. The lacrosse program finished in the top 15 last year and Coach (Jamie) Steele and his staff are building a solid program. I would like to be a part of the continued success of the program and feel I can contribute.”
Outlook for your 2016 HS season? “We are a young HS program but last season we made it to the second round of the NJ Group 1 South playoff bracket with a school record number of wins. We have a strong group of dedicated players and we are striving to surpass last season’s accomplishments.”
Thank You: “I would like to thank Coach Flego and Coach Devlin and the whole Twist organization for putting the team in great tournaments for recruiting. Coach Devlin is also my HS coach and he has pushed me to be a more consistent player and improve my lacrosse IQ.
“I would also like to thank my parents for supporting me through the years and the time they invested in getting me to this point.”
