Favorite Sports Quote:

People don't play sports because it’s fun. Ask any athlete, most of them hate it, but they couldn't imagine their life without it. It’s part of them, the love/hate relationship. It’s what they live for. They live for the practices, parties, cheers, long bus rides, invitationals, countless pairs of different types of shoes, water, Gatorade, & coaches you hate but appreciate. They live for the way it feels when they beat the other team, and knowing those two extra sprints they ran in practice were worth it. They live for the way they become a family with their team, they live for the countless songs they sing in their head while training all those hours. They live for the competition, they live for the friends, the practices, the memories, the pain, it’s who they are. It's who we are.

Favorite Practice Drill: New Blue New Gold

Why did you choose Trinity?

I wanted a small liberal arts school but I pretty much ended up at Trinity by chance which I think was fate because it’s been great ever since.


What does Trin Lax mean to you?

Trin Lax means being a part of something bigger than myself. I think of Trin Lax as a family that gets bigger every year because each and every person that has been a part of it whether it be players, coaches,  friends, or parents, remains a part of it forever. Every player that joins the team works hard for the team, grows to love the team, and strives towards keeping a tradition of excellence for themselves, for the alumni, and for the future of the program.

Favorite Trin lax memory?

Last spring in Seabury after we had won NESCACs for the first time and were watching the bids for NCAA’s. It was an overwhelming feeling of success, happiness, and I was so happy to be experiencing it with my teammates.

Any advice for your teammates?

Love it while you can because time does really fly
