"First, I would like to thank (PA Express coach) Cathy Swartz for being a wonderful coach all of these years and
for being a second mother to me. She has taught me so much about lacrosse, being a team player and competitor. We first
meet in third grade on the LYA field. Her time and energy, along with her husband Mike, has taught me how to play a sport
that I will now be playing on a college level. What a wonderful gift. I would also like to thank my brother, Taylor, for
spending countless hours in the backyard playing lacrosse and teaching me moves. Through his love of the game he has developed
me as a player and encouraged me along the way. Last, but not least thank you Mom, Dad, and Lindsey for all of your patience,
love and support you have given me. I am so excited about my college decision and playing lacrosse for the next four years!"
