Coach Ryan McAleavey has landed another of Florida’s homegrown stars to build his new NCAA DII program at Florida Institute of Technology. Patrick Manning will be studying General Engineering and participating in the ROTC program at FIT. Patrick played lacrosse for Boca High School and played his club ball for the Florida Elite and the Swashbucklers.

“I would like to thank coaches Matt Paolano, Andrew Bolger, and Chris Cecil for teaching me just about everything I know on the lacrosse field. I would also like to thank my parents for allowing me to play on a variety of travel teams helping me achieve my goals and coming to support me at every game.”
