WHY UVA?
“Entering the 2024-25 transfer portal, UVA was my top pick for their style of play and championship history. When I visited the beautiful campus and met Coaches Tiffany, Cassese, Turner and Greco, I was totally sold. Combining this rich lacrosse history with a nationally renowned academic institution and an amazing alumni network made my decision an easy one.”
