WHY DELAWARE?
"I knew I wanted to attend the University of Delaware from the second I stepped on campus. The school has such a welcoming feel and the lacrosse team has such a close bond. The team has such a great family dynamic and positive energy which I love and cannot wait to be a part of. Delaware provides great academic programs with excellent athletic facilities for student-athletes to thrive. I'm excited that UD is close enough to home for my family and friends to attend games. I can't imagine attending any other school and I'm so grateful for this amazing opportunity."
