Jack Durphy – Misericordia University (Lacrosse)
Major: Chemistry
Final list of colleges: Misericordia, Georgian Court, Gwynedd Mercy
Reasons for choosing Misericordia: “I liked their science program – they have a new science building, and I liked the lacrosse team.”
What was the progression that led you to competing in lacrosse at the collegiate level? “Last year when I started playing varsity for the first time, I knew I wanted to play in college.”
Coach Corey Kelly says: “Jack is a great lacrosse player and an even better person who comes from a great family. Jack had to earn his spot and prove himself to be a starter defensively for us. He is a player who wasn’t the most athletically gifted, but with consistency, hard work, and perseverance transformed himself into a more physically dominant defenseman. We usually put Jack on the opposing teams best attack, and he never backed down from a challenge.”
