Bio
WHY LEHIGH? “I choose Lehigh because it was the perfect combination between sports and academics. When I visited, I felt right at home and could see myself thriving here. I loved the friendly, but challenging atmosphere.”
AS A SENIOR (2019): Played in all 18 games, starting 16, primarily at defense … Part of a defense that was second in the Patriot League in goals against average (0.89) and shutouts (8), allowing just 16 goals in 18 games … Finished with a goal and assist, along with 10 shots (three on goal) … Scored first-career goal, the game’s only goal in Lehigh’s first-ever win over Boston University (10/12). Also helped the Mountain Hawks pitch a shutout against the defending Patriot League Champion Terriers, and earned Patriot League Defensive Player of the Week honors.
Dished an assist on the game’s first goal (what proved to be the game-winner) vs. UMBC (9/13) … Made first start of the season in the second game, a 0-0 draw against perennial MAAC contender Monmouth … Named team’s Scholar-Athlete honoree for a second straight season … Also named to CoSIDA Academic All-District team.
AS A JUNIOR (2018): Played in 18 games, with two starts – at Saint Joseph’s (8/19) and Colgate (9/26) … Named team’s Scholar-Athlete honoree at annual end-of-year banquet … Recorded four shots, three on goal … Tallied shots on goal vs. Fordham (9/2), at Towson (9/12) and at American (10/6) … Named to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll.
