Frank Fedorjaka on Neithamer: "Jason has worked very hard to stay healthy, and he is in the best shape of his career entering his senior year. He is back playing long-stick defensive midfield, which is more of a natural position for him, but he has played a lot of close defense and can cover anyone. He is tremendous on ground balls and in transition, and to this point he has been our best leader on the field." |
