What is your favorite lacrosse memory? A.S. -Playing against Vero Beach my sophomore year. Our teams were both very good and we all knew each other in and outside of lacrosse. we lost in OT, but definitely the most exciting game I’ve ever played in. How would you describe your style of play? A.S. – I would say I’m very diverse. My ability to effortlessly go left or right makes me a bigger threat and harder to cover, and my ability to play at both ends of the field effectively. What do you think is the strongest part of your game? What are you working to improve? A.S. -The strongest part of my game I think is being able to play both sides of the field.   I’ve played football my whole life, so playing defense in lacrosse is very similar.   I really would like to work on improving my dodging from behind the net and get my hands free.   Since I’m a midfielder, I don’t get much time back there. What is important to you in selecting a college? A.S. -Good academics, Programs of Study, Location, Size, and a school with a competitive lacrosse program.
