WHY LEHIGH? “There are many reasons that I chose Lehigh. Its prestigious academics, Division I athletics and beautiful campus are among the top. Attending Lehigh gives me the opportunity to continue playing the game I love at a very competitive level. Graduating from Lehigh makes me feel confident in having future career opportunities.”
