How did the school you chose separate itself from the others you considered?
It just felt like home. When I left campus after my visit I went through a pros and cons list with my dad as we did after every visit. After seeing Cabrini and what it had to offer there seemed to be nothing on the cons side of the list.
How would you describe your recruiting process overall?
My recruiting process was a bit of a rollercoaster but I found the program I was meant to join. I was very thankful to the coaches who saw flashes of the player I am and the opportunities I had to continue my education and lacrosse career at the next level.
What was your favorite part of the recruiting process?
The relief of finishing my recruiting process was by far the favorite part. A close second would be visiting different campuses along the east coast and seeing the differences between each school.
What opportunities and information assisted you during your recruiting process?
Advice from coaches and other players telling me to take time with my process and not let the uncontrollable factors such as injuries or COVID-19 affect me. The recruiting process wasn't meant to feel or be rushed.
Did you feel like you had support from the Team 91 staff during your process? If so, how?
Yes, I did. Coach Flanagan and Coach Hannan definitely brought me the most help. They both walked me through certain schools, gave me advice on who to reach out to and how to handle situations with coaches.
What individual or showcase events, if any, did you find the most beneficial during your process?
Camps for the colleges I wanted to go to helped me gain some recruiting attention. I struggled during a three tournament stretch over the summer and when I attended camps of individual schools I was able to play extremely well and gain contact from coaches.
What would you tell younger players or parents to help them prepare for the recruiting process?
Don't let the process frustrate you, everything works out in the end. Not every coach who reaches out will end up offering you a roster spot.
Remain engaged and keep in contact and update coaches through emails, texts, and calls. Don’t wait for every coach to go to you, take the initiative and go to them.
