Why did you choose The University of Tampa, Men's D2? "I chose The University of Tampa for several reasons. I was looking for a school with a great business program and had the opportunity to win a lacrosse national championship. After my official overnight visit & getting to know the players on the team & my conversations with Coach Whipple and Coach Sullivan, I knew Tampa was the perfect fit for me."
Is there anything else you would like to share? "Thank you to all my supporters. My family and friends, with a special thanks to Pope John Head Coach Hoffmann, Coach Squillante and Coach Armstrong. NJ Thunder Elite Coaches; Geissel, Gallucci, O’Hara, Esposito and Coach Rosellini for all the years of training and guidance."
What other colleges did you consider? "I was fortunate to receive interest from D1, D2 and D3 programs. I ended up narrowing it down to 3 schools. The other two schools had tremendous coaches, players and programs, but in the end I decided The University of Tampa was where I wanted to spend the next four years."
