Why did you choose Fairfield? “I chose Fairfield University because of the strong academics, the amazing campus, and the winning lacrosse program.

I can’t wait to be a part of this team and community.”

I would also like to thank my sister, Emily, for showing me what it takes to be a Division 1 athlete; and my mom, dad, and brother, Sam, for supporting me in my athletic career.”
