Why did you choose Neumann? “Neumann is a great fit for me. The school offers many opportunities for learning and interning while having the smaller school setting I was looking for. I am excited about the additions to the Health Sciences Department. Coach (Kyle) Gardner, Coach (Evan) Zielinski, and staff are all great people who are really involved in the program, and made me want to be part of the team. I am looking forward to being a Knight!”
HS team’s 2017 highlights: “Our team finished 12-5 in the 2017 season, which was an improvement on our records in the past. We had a strong run in the playoffs, but we were eliminated in the second round. I am looking forward to my Senior season.”
Thank You: “I would like to thank my parents, who have always supported me every step of the way. I would also like to thank my high school coach, Bill Keane. I started playing lacrosse as a Freshman and he has taught me what I needed to know to improve my game and develop as a player. I would also like to thank my Shamrocks coach, Joe LaTorre, for coaching me through my tournament seasons. Lastly, I would like to thank my teammates throughout the years for helping me become a better player and person on and off the field.”
Other schools considered: Immaculata, Arcadia
