Burke McFarlane
TIFFANY ON McFARLANE
2023 – “We entered this Fall with a larger roster than normal due to seven men pursuing an advanced degree and taking advantage of the extra year of eligibility. Grim was the expectation that any non-recruit would show up during tryouts and make their way onto our team. But that is exactly what Burke did: he snatched a spot with our program when there really wasn’t one available due to his ability to create openings with a quick burst and to put the ball in the net. We are fortunate Burke ignored the warnings.”

WHY UVA?
“I chose UVA because it had been my dream school ever since I was a kid. I would attend games at Klöckner stadium and dream of the opportunity to play within such a great atmosphere. The excellent academics coupled with the top-tier lacrosse program and amazing campus is something I wanted to be a part of.”
