Why did you choose school? “As soon as I stepped on to the campus I knew that it was the right fit for me. The school is beautiful and the people there made me feel right at home. The lacrosse team’s attitude to always keep improving is something that made the decision easy. I am excited to play for Coach Curtis and be a Catamount in the future.”

Outlook for your high school team: “We had an average year in 2012.

It should be a good year for us and we will hopefully get beyond the PAC-10 and deeper into the District 1 tournament compared to the past.”

All my coaches from Youth through High School – Coventry Youth Lacrosse, Owen J Roberts High School, The HEADstrong Foundation, Baggataway Lacrosse Club and PYLA.
