Matthew DeSouza

TIFFANY ON DeSOUZA
2024 – “Matt has transferred to Charlottesville from Binghamton, but he is no stranger to the area. A resident of Northern Virginia, Matt has been here often due to an older brother being an alum. Oh yeah, being here is made even easier as he can pilot down here in his plane. When he isn’t flying himself and teammates around the Commonwealth, Matt is battling it out at the faceoff X. He is technically sound and efficient with his moves. Matt has made a big push in the last few weeks of fall ball, winning more and more of his draws.”
