Why Lehigh? "Living in the Midwest, Lehigh was not on my radar at first. But after getting to know the coaching staff, I planned a visit and fell in love with Lehigh. The campus was gorgeous and the school offered a perfect balance between athletics and a quality education."
What does it mean to be part of the Lehigh student-athlete experience? "Being a student-athlete at Lehigh is a great experience. You develop a closer bond to all the other student-athletes at Lehigh and your teammates really become a second family."
