Henry Metz Pronunciation

TIFFANY ON METZ
2025 – “Never question the grit and determination this man brings to the lacrosse field. Henry is a quintessential grinder, battling despite both injury and stout opponents. There is little that will stop Henry from his mission objectives. As a faceoff specialist for us, he is in the mix: Henry has had an impressive start in his second fall in Charlottesville. He brings multiple moves, including a punishing counter, to the X.” 2024 – “Henry is smoothly making the transition to Division One athletics thanks to his talent and determination, along with the tremendous preparation provided by the Salisbury School. The faceoff specialists have been entangled in a healthy competitive battle this Fall semester, with Henry right there in the mix until a hand injury knocked him out of our practice starting in October. There is a significant amount of potential inside this man to be one heck of a collegiate faceoff specialist.”
