This is the first in a series of interviews Florida Lacrosse News is conducting with recent Florida lacrosse players that have committed to college programs. We bring you these interviews as a way to give you an inside look at how they got to where they are now . . . as well as getting to know them at a personal level! Dakota Dunmire – Oviedo High School Position: Middie/Attack Height/Weight: 6’1 / 180 Club Team: Team Florida, Possums, and Jokers Honors: Under Armour Underclassmen South Team and 4 year Varsity Starter Why Did You Choose Monmouth? When I visited the campus I really liked everything Monmouth had to offer. It is a smaller school with a great business program in a very nice area of New Jersey. Everything seemed so brand new and top notch. Being a new program for lacrosse Coach Fisher and Coach Geison really sold me on the excitement of being a new team with great new facilities and the drive to make a name for Monmouth Lacrosse. Was the recruiting process what you thought it would be? I never thought it would have been an everyday job like it was. How Would You Describe Your Game And What Do You Want To Improve On? I would describe my game as a versatile player that can play middie or attack and can put points on the board. I would like to improve my north to south dodging from up top to always being a scoring threat. What Was Your First Lacrosse Experience? My first lacrosse experience was shooting with my Dad in the backyard. Who Was Your Biggest Lacrosse Influence? My Dad was my biggest influence because he had played Division 1 lacrosse at Drexel and passed the game of lacrosse to me at the first time I could pick up a stick. Which College/Pro Players Do You Like Watching The Most? My favorite player to watch is Paul Rabil and Mike Sawyer. Both of them define what it means to be a scoring threat the second they touch the field. They are also some of the best shooters in the game and never disappoint when they shoot the ball. What Is Your Lacrosse Goal For This Season? The past three years on Varsity at Oviedo we have been runners up in the district so as a team we set a goal to win the district no matter what. On a personal level i am looking to put up good numbers and help my team win. Do You Already Know What You Want To Study In College And What Is It?
