Why UVA?
“UVA is in my blood. For a long time, I have been going down to Charlottesville for different sporting events, especially football and lacrosse. I also cherish the education that I am going receive as well as the pure greatness of the lacrosse program and the tradition it carries. I fell in love with Grounds when I was young, and it is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.”
