The senior midfielder and captain, who led the Aces (10-4-3 as of Oct. 26) in goals scored and assists, tallied game-winning goals on back-to-back days Oct. 20-21, and those victories helped the Aces cement a PIAA District One playoff spot. Lower Merion boys’ soccer head coach Nico Severini said, “He really leads [our team] every day by example, and with his work ethic. He sets the pace and controls [our] midfield.”
