WHY I CHOSE UVA
“I chose the University of Virginia because, from my very first visit, the coaches and players made me feel like I was already part of the family. The relationships I built with them, along with the program's culture and history, made my decision easy. Beyond lacrosse, Charlottesville immediately felt like home, and I knew it was the place where I wanted to grow as both a student and an athlete.”
