Why did you choose Drexel: “I chose Drexel because I have always wanted to play Division 1 lacrosse and at an institution that offers an excellent education as well. My ultimate goal is to attend medical school so I wanted to make sure that I found a school that would help me achieve that goal. I also had a great recruiting trip with Coach (brian) Voelker and his staff. It was a tough decision with schools like BYU and Boston University also in the running.”
Outlook for 2015 HS Season: “As a second year school, we are looking to make a run to the state championship. We still have a sour taste in our mouth after last year’s loss in the (state) championship. However, only losing four seniors, we are excited to make a statement to the state.”
Thank You: “There have been many people who have helped me out along the way. However, there are a few individuals who have continually worked hard on my behalf and helped get me where I am today – Mike Isbell, Steve Dunn, Dan Mannix, Jono Zissi, Mark Davis, and my parents.”
