WHY LEHIGH? "I chose Lehigh to not only be a part of a top ranked program, but also for the amazing academics and networking outside of Lehigh as well. Along with the academics, the coaches are also legends. Coach Cassese went to my blue collar public high school, so I of course felt a special connection there and thought it was only fitting to follow him up to Lehigh. I'm honored to become the first player from my high school to go and be coached by him."
