I started playing lacrosse at age 7 and immediately fell in love with playing goalie. During this season as a Freshman I got my first Varsity start in the District 3 Quarterfinals game and came out with my first victory. My starts continued into the District Semifinals where I started throughout District and State Playoffs. Over the past few years I have truly honed my skills and have continued to improve. This year while playing on the Varsity and JV team I served as a 9th Grade (level) Captain and helped lead our team where needed leading up to the playoffs. I have been playing organized sports since I was 4 years old and I currently play 4 sports while maintaining a near 3.5 GPA. On the lacrosse field I am the quarterback of the defense and help provide them with all the support needed to be a solid unit. I continue to work with out previous Varsity Goalie who was already committed to UNC as 9th grader. He has provided leadership for me as well as someone to look to for advice. For the last 3 years I have averaged over a 70% save average. In July 2018 I represented Team Virginia at the National Lacrosse Classic and in June of 2017 I was selected to the Brine National Lacrosse Classic in Richmond Virginia representing Team Connecticut. I am one of four boys in my family and we all play multiple sports. We love to travel and spend a lot of time in Canada watching my brother play Ice Hockey. Academically, I am taking the highest classes available to me, I have passed the PA Keystone for Algebra in 7th Grade and I took two honors level classes in my freshman year of high school and will be taking Honors Trig and AP World History in my sophomore year. In my spare time I am a USA Hockey Official and volunteer with the local youth lacrosse program. VIDEO LINK: https://tinyurl.com/Moritzen
