Evan began his lacrosse career in third grade. “I played baseball before and wasn’t fond of it. Once I began playing lacrosse I instantly fell in love with the sport,” he said.

When asked how he feels about playing alongside Kobe Louang he said “I’m glad I’m playing with Kobe. As long as he’s on our side, I’m happy. One less person to worry about playing on our schedule.”

Evan has been named captain of the team and is looking to have a memorable senior season. Evans said “I’m trying to get at least 250 saves and make first team all league.”
