Why Ursinus? 
Ursinus had everything I was looking for in a college experience: strong academics, great campus and student-life atmosphere, and a respected and dedicated coaching staff that I know will make me a better student athlete during my time here. What sealed the deal for me was my overnight visit. I felt an instant connection with my coaches and enjoyed getting to know all of the players I met.
