The first athletes to sign this year were Cameron Costello and Maggie Dougherty, playing field hockey and lacrosse, respectively. Costello signed to play for Lafayette College, where she will be receiving an amazing education while playing a sport she loves. Maggie Dougherty signed with Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, where she can play her favorite sport and surf in her free time.
Brandon Smith followed the trend, signing with Philadelphia University to play baseball. Brandon’s teammate, Nate Wilson, signed with Cairn University to play baseball as well. Dan Maxian, who is receiving a four-year full tuition ROTC scholarship, will be continuing his swimming career at the United States Merchant Marine Academy.
