Niagara University Athletics

Why Niagara?
"Niagara seemed to be a perfect fit for me for several reasons. I really like the campus, small class sizes and the fact that I can get a great education not too far from home. I am also looking forward to playing D-1 lacrosse with a motivated team that will be looking to contend for a MAAC title. The coach and team have been very welcoming."
