2016: Known for his versatility on the offensive side of the ball, started in all 21 games in his final year in a Hornet uniform...finished second in the ODAC in points (87), netting 56 goals with 31 assists, both good enough for third in the conference...scored 10 goals on the man up while controlling 45 groundballs...had multiple points in 19 games on the year...his best day came on 4/23 against Guilford where he netted seven goals while adding two assists.

2015: Had one of the best years of any Lynchburg Hornet attackman in history…destroyed his own single-season record of assists in a season with 50 on the year, and he is only three away from setting the career record…also beat his previous record of points in the year with 97, a mark that ranks second in program history…scored 47 goals on the year, which was good for second on the team...he had at least two points in every game but two during the year, with 10 games of five or more points, including five in the National Championship game…also picked up a career-high 54 groundballs on the year and tied for the attackmen lead in caused turnovers with seven, which provides great help in the transition game on the defensive side.

2014: After coming on late in the year as a freshman, used that momentum to becoming one of the best in the ODAC…led the team in points with 89 on the year, which set the school record for points in a year…very impressive offensively, hitting open teammates as well as getting himself involved…scored 49 goals and assisted on 40 more, which was also a single-season record at LC…scored a goal in every game but one…tallied a hat trick or better in eight games, including six in win over R-MC…notched five points or more in a game seven times…also scooped up 32 ground balls and caused six turnovers on the year…after becoming one of the best in the conference, coaching staff will expect even more as the player gets older.
