WHY LEHIGH? “I chose Lehigh because I felt it offered a great balance of academics and athletics. I also loved the campus when I first visited and was impressed with the coaching staff. I felt the size of the school fit me well too; not too big, but not too small. When I met some of the lacrosse players on my visit, I knew it was the right place for me.”
