BN: I was thinking a lot about how fast four years have gone by. It really feels like not too long ago I was playing my first game here at Swat.

BN: It is definitely a unique situation; I just focused on trying to set a good example for my younger teammates.
MK: Do you plan to continue playing lacrosse after you graduate?
