Andrew Mandela ’05 recently took the lacrosse field for his new school Saint Joseph’s University. He transferred from Drexel University after the fall term. He said he had major butterflies when he took the field for his new team, but quickly settled in to a losing effort against Lehigh University. He played stout defense and had two shots blocked from point blank range. We wish him well in his future endeavors. |
