I chose Villanova not only because of the amazing winning lacrosse program, but also because of the great academics. It has been my dream to play Division 1 lacrosse ever since I was a kid, and once I stepped foot on campus, I knew Villanova was the perfect place to do so. The entire Villanova Coaching staff, and players were so supportive and welcoming. Being able to have the opportunity to play for the Villanova Womens lacrosse team is a huge honor, and I couldn’t be happier with my commitment.

Do not stress too much about recruiting, everyone will end up where they are meant to be at. Send your emails !!! Emails are a great thing to get your name out there and keep colleges in the loop with things.

My favorite part of playing for Philly Blast is creating amazing friendships with girls from other schools that will last forever.

Coastal Carolina, Furman, ODU, and ECU

Thank you to my parents, friends, family, coaches, and especially my teammates for making this possible. I wouldn’t be where I am today without any of them. I am beyond grateful for this opportunity. Also, Thank you to the entire Villanova coaching staff!!
