Congrats Max!
Committed to Tennessee Wesleyan University
His comments:
I want to thank my HS coaches, Coach Rickard, Coach Ricky, and Coach Woodsie. They taught me everything I know about the game and provided the building blocks to succeed. I'd also like to thank Coach Rico at TWU for helping me through the process, having my back through it all, and giving me this chance. Lastly, I'd like to thank my family for the constant support and sacrifices that have made this opportunity possible. While attending TWU, I plan on studying Aerospace Engineering.

The B1G Ten Women’s Recap
*
AH-Delray’s Caroline Byrd only was able to play in 14 games for Michigan but made the B1G Ten All-Freshwoman team. Her UM teammate, Carli Norris of Vero Beach, had a big year for the Blue, and might have gotten overlooked in the postseason awards, starting 5 of the 20 games she played.
Steinbrenner’s Taylor Lapointe started 3 of the 22 games she played for Northwestern and contributed a big season for the national champion runner-up team. North Broward Prep’s Rachel Weiner played in 10 games for the Wildcats, scoring 2 goals.
AH-Delray’s Payton Wainman started 7 of the 13 games she played for Penn State and put up solid all-around numbers. Her AH-Delray and PSU teammate Victoria Tomonto played in one game.
St Stephen’s frosh Sienna Casella started 3 of the 15 games she played for Rutgers in the midfield and contributed significantly. She is in the Transfer Portal for now. Her Scarlet Knight teammate, Samantha Swanovich of Newsome, played in 18 games, scoring 16 goals in a dedicated role, as she finally came back from a serious knee injury.
AH-Delray’s Casey Roberts started 6 of the 14 games she played for USC and played well in a supporting role as a middie. Lake Mary’s Charlee Nyquist, her teammate, does not show being in a game. I do not know if there was an injury reason.
