Tommy Goldman, an oustanding senior midfielder at The Friends School, has has signed a national letter of intent to play lacrosse for the University of Vermont Catamounts, the school’s athletic department announced on Friday.
A three–sport athlete for the Quakers, Goldman also plays varsity basketball and was an important player on the Quakers’ MIAA B-Conference varsity soccer championship run earlier this fall.
The Quakers were B-Conference runners-up in soccer. Goldman was a captain on the lacrosse team.
“Tommy inspires his teammates to play and work harder,” said Quakers’ lacrosse coach Rick Matthews. “He’s a tenacious competitor.â€
Looking forward to the coming year, Matthews is confident that Goldman will be a major contributor to the offense for Friends, which plays in the highly competitive MIAA A Conference.
“We had a young, inexperienced team last season. This year’s Quakers will be a team with the experience and leadership of a strong senior class, led by Tommy Goldman, accompanied by a talented, supporting core of underclassman,” Matthews said. “Our goal is to be competitive and add some balance to our conference.â€
Goldman also has achieved an outstanding reputation as a student.
Goldman serves as co-president of the student government, head of the Friends School Book Club, and head of the Hip-Hop Appreciation Club.
Goldman is also an avid guitar player who has played in a local band.
The Catamount lacrosse team finished 4-10 overall last season and 1-4 in the America East Conference. Vermont completed its season with a 20-12 victory over Hartford.
