When and how did you start playing lacrosse?
I started in 7th grade because my brother wanted to and I wasn’t getting any better at baseball.
What is your spirit animal? (Players are given a spirit animal by upperclassmen when they first join the team)
Hahaha, I am Kevin from UP. It is probably because I have a very quirky personality on the field and maybe I am little lanky. Also, I do really enjoy animated movies and plan to never grow up.
What are your plans after graduation?
Visiting my brother in Rome and then roaming in Europe for a few weeks. Then it is off to the real world as a manufacturing engineer at Emerson.
Most memorable moment as a Gopher?
Meeting #18 freshman year fall ball when I said, “Hey, I’m Luke” and he replied, “Hey, I’m Matt.” I haven’t called him Matt since.
Which of your current or former teammates had the greatest impact on you?
