"I am extremely thankful for the opportunity to be a part of the Mules Lacrosse family. Colby's commitment to both academic and athletic success is unparalleled, and I could not be more excited to share this journey with the student-athletes and coaching staff. I'd like to thank Jake Bernhardt for allowing me to be a part of this program, and I am confident that with continued support and togetherness this program will reach new heights."
