Character

“Moore is a thoughtful and compassionate man who has grown to become a role model of authority with his teammates. Only after careful consideration of an issue at hand does he act or share. When Moore goes into action, he does not rest until the objective is accomplished on the lacrosse field and with our team service events. And when he talks, the rest of us listen. To see him lead us as a captain is to witness a man who shares his heart too: the genuineness of his approach to all of life is easily recognized. At the heart of this all is one word: faithful.  With so many distractions and the vibrancy of youth that surrounds our student-athletes, I am astounded at how Moore blocks out the noise and gives his family, his teammates and his girlfriend his absolute focus.”
- Head Coach Lars Tiffany
