Bio
WHY LEHIGH? “When I visited Lehigh, it felt like home and I had an immediate connection. The education students receive here is phenomenal, and I also get the opportunity to continue playing the sport I love to play. The coaching staff and the team have been very welcoming. Lehigh is also close to home, so I get to see my family very often!”

Was named Patriot League Offensive Player of the Week for efforts … Georgetown game marked Carotenuto’s third straight game with a goal, also scoring a goal at Lock Haven (10/14) and against Lafayette (10/6) … Scored the game-winning overtime goal against the Leopards to give the Mountain Hawks a 1-0 win, their first victory over Lafayette since 2005 … Scored a pair of goals in Lehigh’s road victory at Siena (9/17) … Also scored two days prior at Holy Cross (9/15) … Had a pair of shots on goal in three of the first four games of the season – vs. LIU Brooklyn (8/25), against La Salle (9/1) and at Sacred Heart (9/3).
