What will you major in/study? Marketing/Management
Why did you choose Delaware? “The University of Delaware gives me a close ride to home where I know I’m not stranded. It has over 130 majors to choose from, and if I don’t like my major I can certainly find another that will fit me. The school holds a large quantity of students that fits what I am looking for. Almost every lacrosse player at Delaware will get an internship before they graduate, sealing the idea that it isn’t about 4 years worth of lacrosse, it’s about the next 40 years with a great job.”
HS team’s outlook for 2017 season? “We are looking to reach playoffs but one game at a time. We have some strong seniors that will lead our team to a promising season. We have a young team that graduated our whole starting defense and midfield. We will gain experience this year and get better every game.”
Thank You: “I would like to thank my coaches and teammates that have gotten me to this point. I would not be in this position without them.
“I would like to thank the University of Delaware for giving me this opportunity as well.
“Lastly but most importantly, I would like to congratulate my family. Without their support and love I would not be in this position at all.”
