Member of the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll ... Frank Fedorjaka on Palmer: "Chris is simply playing terrific lacrosse as we head into the season. He could be on the No. 1 midfield line by the season opener. He is very fast, quick and explosive, and he can score while moving in any direction. One of his best qualities is his ability to shoot on the run with both velocity and accuracy. He finally got healthy late last season, and it showed in the quality of his play and in his aggressiveness." | |||||||||||||||||||||
