Why did you choose Mount St. Mary’s, Men’s D1? “I chose the Mount not only because the coaches (Gravante, Giblin, Moon and Kellinger) are incredible teachers of the game, but also because they’ve built a very special team culture. If you add the fact that they play multiple games against nationally ranked opponents and have a great chance to win our conference every year which has an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament, it was an easy choice.”
Is there anything else you would like to share? “Thank you to my family for all of the moral support, long hours of travel and standing on lacrosse fields. Also thank you to my club coach Adam Mueller, my High School Coach, Jack Forster, my youth coaches Joey, Ryan and Harry Sankey, and of course the coach that started it all… RJ Ippoldo.”
