What advice would you give someone looking to apply to Lafayette?
My advice for someone looking to apply to Lafayette is to trust your gut and take advantage of all the school has to offer. I had a good feeling about Lafayette from the moment I stepped on campus for my visit. Lafayette is a very accommodating school and wants to help you succeed, but when you get to campus, it is your job to build the right relationships for success.
 
What has been your favorite moment while competing for Lafayette?
My favorite moment while competing for Lafayette was beating Lehigh my sophomore year. We knew that we were the better team but had been dealing with some injuries. Our team rose up to the occasion and showed how tough and competitive we are.
