What will you major in/study? Accounting
Why did you choose Fairfield? “Fairfield is a great combination of academics and lacrosse. They have a great business school and a large lacrosse alumni network, and the team has been on the rise for years and only continues to get better. I am excited to be able to compete for CAA titles and the opportunity to play in the NCAA tournament.”
Outlook for 2016 HS season? “We lost some key seniors, but we bring back a lot of important players this year, including all three goalies and all of our attackmen. We are also getting back some big contributors who were injured last season, so we should be in a strong position to compete for the Inter-Ac title and the Inter-Ac Challenge title.”
Thank You: “I would like to first thank my parents for all of their support and for always taking me to countless tournaments and practices over the years. I would also like to thank my Freedom coach, Bob Miller, for all of his help throughout the process, as well as my Man Up coach, Jim Schorn.
“I would also like to thank my Malvern coaches, John McEvoy, Todd MacFarlane, Matt Mackrides, Steve Holmes, and Matt McCormick for all of their help to make me a better player. I also want to thank Charles Kelly for always pushing me to be better in practice and always making me work hard. I need to thank my face-off coaches, John Bodnar and Mike Dolente, for all of their help working with me.”
Other Schools Considered: Hobart, Franklin and Marshall, St. Joe’s, Richmond, Robert Morris, Lafayette
