Mack Till

TIFFANY ON TILL
2024– “Mack has made the transformation. A year ago, Mack set his mind to learning our defense and all of its intricacies. He returned to Grounds as a second year short-stick defensive midfielder who is not only understanding our schemes, but is also proving to have complete ownership of it all and is now teaching others. Combining this with his “stop-you-in-your-tracks” chunky confrontations versus ball carriers, we now have a defender who is a making our team defense much more stout. Mack is also progressing with his stickwork and becoming an asset in our clearing game.” 2023 – “Mack was recruited primarily for his on-ball defensive play, and the rest of us are seeing it for ourselves up close.  The ability to jam the dodging offensive player in his tracks requires lateral quickness, strength and anticipation.  Mack possesses all of these and more, making him an ideal short-stick defensive midfielder.  He is determined to raise the level of his stick skills and offensive transition impact.  Mack is making steady progress with his comprehension of our schemes, showing us how badly he wants to be an integral man in the defense.”

WHY UVA?

• “I chose UVA because you get the best of both worlds. UVA is known as one of the nation’s premier public schools, so I know that I’ll be getting one of the best educations in the world. Also, I’ll have the chance to play lacrosse for a program that’s won nine national championships, including two back-to-back titles in recent years. The campus is also unbelievable, especially in the fall, with the backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Playing lacrosse at UVA is truly a dream come true for me.”
