Why did you choose Princeton? “I felt like it was the best chance for me to grow as a lacrosse player, a student, and a person, in general. I felt so comfortable there and the coaches were great to my family throughout the process. Coaches (head coach Chris) Bates, coach (Greg) Raymond and Coach (Mike) Podgajny were awesome.”

Additional comments: “I want to thank my parents for being there and letting me make the decision and not pressuring me. I also wish to thank the college coaches I spoke with. I want to thank (Haverford School) coach (John) Nostrant and coaches (Mark) Petrone, (Travis) Loving and (Paul) O’Grady and Mesa Fresh coach (John) Sims.”
