2004: One of the 'Cats most gifted performers ... A central element in Villanova's attack and its defensive approach ... Can handle the ball and also score ... A heady player who can also deal with the physical stuff ... A co-captain who will lean on his experience to help guide his younger mates.

2003: Delivered a strong campaign in the central part of the field ... Started all 19 games he appeared in, generating one goal and two assists ... His goal on Sept. 12 vs. Princeton was the difference in a 1-0 victory over the Tigers at the University of Pennsylvania.

2001: His debut campaign was deemed a success ... So a ton of playing time in the midfield, playing in all 18 gmaes and starting 15 of those ... Established himself as a starter in mid-September and then seldom left the lineup ... His 28 shots on goal were the most of any Wildcat ... Scored three times and added three assists for nine points ... Netted the first goal of his collegiate career at 12:26 of the first half in a 2-1 loss to Connecticut on Sept. 9 at the Villanova Soccer Stadium ... His shot from the top of the box beat Husky goalie Bryheem Hancock ... He also opened the scoring ten days later, on Sept. 19, against Temple in a 3-1 win ...
