What will you major in/study? Athletic Training

Why did you choose school? “When I went on my official visit I felt like I belonged there. Coach Koeniges is so nice and so is the team. ESU also has a great Athletic Training program so I felt that this was the best choice for my education and lacrosse career, too.”

What is your HS team’s outlook for next year? “We graduated eight seniors last year, all of which were vital parts of our varsity team. This year will be challenging adjusting, however, having a young team will have its advantages! I’m looking forward to this season and making a difference.”

Other comments: “I could not have completed this recruiting process without my Mom, so a special thank you to her. Also I’d like to thank KC Knobloch, David Schlesinger, my high school coaches Robin Schwartz & Heidi Brunswick and all of my club coaches over the years because they helped me become a better player each and every day.”
