What did you choose to go to UNC?
I first visited when I was a junior, my unofficial visit and I have been in love with this school ever since I was young, so when I got an offer to play here is was a no-brainer for me.

Coach Breschi, "10% of life is what happens to you, 90% is how you react." That is something that stuck with me for the rest of the season and as a captain that is something that I have tried to relay to the rest of the guys and I think a lot of people have bought into it.

What has it been like being captain this year?
It's been great, a lot of time you have to try to take what the coaches say and relay it to all the guys or take what the guys are feeling and try to bring it to the coaches. I like being in the middle and trying to help out everyone and trying to make our team grow into what I know we are capable of being.

What are your goals for your team this season?
We are taking it one game at a time, obviously, but we really want to play in a National Championship. North Carolina is way overdue and I think this could be the team with the right mindset and if we continue to get better everyday and everybody steps up it could easily be done.

What is it like to play in a competitive conference like the ACC?
It's awesome, you can't ask for anything better; we all came to this school knowing that the ACC is the best lacrosse around. Knowing that every ACC game you go into you are going to have a battle is great, it's a fight every game and we love it.
