1. Why did you decide to sign with Adrian College?

I chose Adrian, because it had everything I wanted in a school. A great lacrosse program, but also a great program for what I want to major in. They take their sports and academics seriously, which is something I value. They also helped a lot financially, because it is not cheap to attend school here and they do their best to get you as much aid as possible.

2. Describe the excitement you feel about becoming a college student-athlete?

It’s great to know that I’ve excelled enough in my sport to be able to play in college. I wasn’t a big star on my high school team, so to do something that not many people get to do is cool. On top of that I don’t come from a lacrosse heavy area, so being able to stand out above amazing players from the hotbeds of lacrosse is a great feeling.

3. What advice would you give to other athletes looking to get recruited?

Don’t wait for coaches to come to you, be proactive. It shows a lot of you as a person to approach a coach by yourself and show them you have passion and drive to play for their team. Also be gracious, these coaches don’t have to talk to you, so reply to all emails, call them back, and always say thank you, because they’ll remember someone who was nice and genuine over the cocky star athlete.

4. Who has been the biggest influence in your sports career and why?

My dad has really pushed me in my sports career. He went to as many games as possible, especially after missing a year because he was deployed to Afghanistan. He really knows the game now that I’ve been playing for 8 years and he helps the other parents figure out what’s going on. He also really wanted to be active in the recruiting process and he helped me say the right things to coaches which really helped sell me as a player.

5. What would you like to accomplish during your college sports career?

I really want to excel as a player, and be better than I was in high school. I hope that I can develop my skills and push myself to be better than people thought I was. I also want to make people from my high school team proud.

3. What advice would you give to other athletes looking to get recruited?

If you want to be recruited you have to put yourself out there. I played on a club team for a summer, which is how I was recruited. Even if you can’t afford to play club, there are tons of websites that you can make a profile and ask coaches to look at you.

My biggest influence would be my club coach Jessica Livingston. She taught me not only to work hard, but to also the love the sport. She is the reason I’m playing in college.

Susquehanna provided a science program that fit my learning preferences. Along with being a liberal arts school, I felt at home on the campus. From the lacrosse perspective, I like the coaching staff and I agree with Coach Moan’s philosophy and goals for the lacrosse program.

It has been a goal of mine to play lacrosse at the collegiate level since my freshman year, and now that it is finally achieved it’s the best feeling in the world.

Consider all your options and make sure to contact the schools you are interested in, as well as make as many visits as you can.

4. Who has been the biggest influence in your sports career and why?

Tim Coyne would be the biggest influence for me. I remember watching him play in the varsity games when I was just in middle school and loved his style of defense. He was also the defensive captain for my freshman and sophomore years and helped me transition into the varsity team. He was never one to get down on you, he only wanted to make you better, and that truly taught me a lot.

5. What would you like to accomplish during your college sports career?

I would like to help Susquehanna win the Landmark Conference and earn our first bid into the NCAA tournament. For myself, I want to earn a starting spot at some point in my career and represent Minnesota the best I can.
