WHY LEHIGH? “I chose Lehigh because of the coaching staff. Coach Cassese, Wilson, and Callahan (at the time) were so genuine and welcoming. I felt right at home when I shook their hands and greeted them. They are not only great coaches, but even better people.”
AS A SOPHOMORE (2017): Saw action in five games: at No. 2/3 North Carolina (2/18), in the Patriot League opener at Holy Cross (2/25), vs. archrival Lafayette (3/18), at No. 19 Loyola (4/8) and at Cornell (4/15).
AS A FRESHMAN (2016): Got into one game, scoring a goal on first-career shot in the regular season finale at Bucknell (4/22) ... Named to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll.
BEFORE LEHIGH: Four-year letterwinner at La Salle College High School … Senior captain and two-time first team All-PCL (Philadelphia Catholic League) honoree … Finished as a three-time PCL Champion, garnering the Travis Manion Leadership Award which was awarded by his coaches … Led his team in scoring as a senior, also earning All-EPCLA … Led squad to the 2013 Pennsylvania State Championship and earned All-USA Pennsylvania Boys Lacrosse Team for PIAA in 2014-15 … A member of the USA Under-19 Indoor Lacrosse Team, also excelled in the classroom … Earned First Honors all four years for a GPA of 3.75 or higher, posting a final GPA of 3.98 … Received the 3D Art Award and a 500 dollar grant.
