2016: Ended one of the best careers with an incredible final season…proved to be a lockdown defender throughout every game…routinely placed on the other team’s top offensive option…would be placed on an island coming out of timeouts, guarding the player with the ball while the rest of the team would shut off the other players…was up to the task…used his physicality to force 53 turnovers on the year…the total led the ODAC by almost 20…the 53 turnovers was also good for a tie for second in the entire Division III…also picked up 47 ground balls, which was good for third on the team, and put him in a tie for 21st in the conference…ended his career with a caused turnover in one of the last possessions of the game, knocking the stick out of a Guilford player…leaves the program with 128 caused turnovers, 33 more than second…tied for second in ground balls with 187…will be missed on the backline by the coaches and the team.
