About Lacrosse
The best thing about being a Tar Heel lacrosse player is improving myself as a person every day on the lacrosse field and in the classroom all while representing the University of North Carolina.
My favorite thing about playing for Coach Breschi is his fairness and honesty as a coach toward his players.
Since last year the aspects of my game I've worked on the most are my speed of play and instinct.
My greatest strength as a lacrosse player is my ground balls into transition.
