Matt Emery

TIFFANY ON EMERY
“An offensive weapon, few are as imposing as Matt when he runs down the alley with his stick at the ready to let the shot fly.  With a renewed determination and a healthier track record recently, Matt is making a positive impression upon both teammates and coaches alike.  His overtime goal in the Blue-White scrimmage which ended the fall lacrosse season brought an explosion of joy from teammates.”
