Career Stats:

What is your favorite sports memory at Albright?
“My favorite memory at Albright was probably our 12-11 win against Messiah last year. We had never beaten them before and they were reigning MAC champions, which made it even more exciting. With 1:38 left in the game I was able to score the eventual game-winning goal. That excitement of beating Messiah and that goal celebration was one of my best memories.”

What are your post-graduate plans?
“In a perfect world, I would still be playing lacrosse at Albright. I would love to come back to play again for a fifth year, but depending on what job opportunities I get, will determine that. I plan on joining the FBI, so In the meantime, I’m working other jobs to get me better credentials to enter the FBI.”

What is one thing that you would like to say to current Albright baseball underclassmen/future Albright women’s lacrosse student-athletes?
“One thing that I would like to say is to cherish your time as an Albright Lacrosse player. Every coach always says, play every game like it’s your last, and we saw this season how quickly it can just be taken away from you. You never truly realize how lucky you are to be playing the sport you love until it’s over. So, before it’s too late, put in the extra work. Sprint every sprint like it’s your last. Practice every day like it’s your last practice and play every game like it could be your last game of lacrosse ever.”

Why did you chose Albright/Favorite part about Albright?
“I chose Albright because I fell in love with the coaches, the team, and the atmosphere. I loved the small school feel where you know everybody, and I think this was really beneficial in the classroom because you got to really know your professors as well. I love my teammates, they are and always will be my best friends. We’ll forever be the coolest team on campus, so I loved being a part of that. We also have the best coaches in the MAC so it’s hard not to love Albright!”

I wanted to thank you again for the opportunity you have created for our kids.  This experience is more than the TV show.  Eight students who probably never would have talked to each other were excited to execute a plan. Know that you make a difference.
