“I chose Liberty because I felt comfortable and at home on the campus. I really liked the coaching styles of Coach Nangle and Coach Dunay, and I loved how close the teammates were with each other. On an academic note, the nursing program was very strong and the opportunities I would have there are incredible. Liberty’s strong commitment to helping their athletes succeed and their service to others was impressive. I am very excited to be a part of the lacrosse program and the school.”

“I would take your time and be patient. There is always a college out there for you and sometimes it takes a little while to find it! Never get discouraged and don’t give up because all of your hard work will pay off in the end.”

“My favorite part of playing Philly Blast were my teammates. I am really grateful to Philly Blast for creating so many of these friendships I have today and for introducing me to so many great players from all over this area.”

I would like to thank my parents for always driving me to tournaments and especially my mom for all those runs, triathlons, and crazy workouts. I would like to thank my coaches that I have worked with over the years at Blast, especially Josie, Julie, Dodds, April, Kate and Coach Hagan. I appreciate all that you have helped me with and forming me into the lacrosse player that I am today.
