Joe Breschi's Thoughts About Walker Chafee:
• Walker's had a tremendous fall. He's a guy that really stepped up and from day one had a major impact for us.
• He's tall, he's got range and he's got great stick skills.
• Walker is a very high IQ midfielder for a freshman and sees the field tremendously well.
• He's got to get in the weight room and get stronger, but his athleticism and his ability to see plays before they happens are terrific.
