James Magnani has performed beyond expectations as a freshman on the Men’s Lacrosse team.
Magnani, the 6’0 freshman business administration major who plays attack on the field, is excited to be doing what he loves and has the history to prove it.
“I have been playing lacrosse since I was in the 2nd grade,” Magnani said. “And lacrosse has always been my one and only favorite sport.”
In a match against Haverford College which opened the 2015 lacrosse season, Magnani played against the Fords. The Cavs defeated the Fords with a 16-5 victory where Magnani obtained seven points on five goals and two assists for his collegiate debut.
“He is a great player with some of the best stick handling I have ever seen,” said fellow teammate Jake Donohoe, senior exercise science and health promotion major who plays attack on the field. “He can finish inside with the best of players [and] James is a hard working player with a bright future here at Cabrini.”
Although #35 is impressing many with his talents as a freshman, he’s also got his head in the game, academically.
When choosing a major for college after attended St. Mark’s High School in Wilmington, Del., he knew right off the bat what he would pursue.
“Since High School, I have been interested in Business and how Businesses works and become successful,” Magnani said. “So I wanted to declare that major right away.”
He believes he chose Cabrini as the right decision because it had the two most important aspect he was looking for.
“Well I chose Cabrini for two reasons,” Magnani said. “[I chose to go here because of] the strong academics in Business and the chance to play for the Men’s lacrosse team.”
“It’s a great opportunity coming here and being able to get an education and continue playing the sport I love,” Magnani said.
