Most memorable game at Princeton. Why?
I was lucky enough to have too many to reduce to one! One of the biggest was a win at Yale freshman year to clinch the Ivy Title. A win at Brown sophomore year was memorable because I was called in as an emergency goalie because Tommy McCabe still had a chunk of Laurie-Love Field in his knee! Finally, scoring the winning goal in OT to beat #1 Rutgers at home my Senior year.

Toughest loss:
Loss to Philadelphia Textile in the NCAA First Round Tournament at home.
