On our 45 man roster we are becoming a close nit family. However some are more genetically close then others. We have 3 “legacy” families on our team. We have the Gillotti’s consisting of junior midfielder Mike and freshman goalie Brendan. Then there is the duo of senior goalie Drew Dean and freshman midfielder Angus Dean. Then finally we have senior midfielder Kevin Fechtmann and freshman attack Sean Fechtmann.
Kevin/Sean:
Kevin
Are you excited to play with Sean? I'm definitely excited to play with Sean this year. My brother Brian played lacrosse here for 4 years (08-11) and I got the chance to play with him for two years and that experience really helped me become the type of player I am today.
Did Sean come here because of you and Brian? I can't take full credit for Sean choosing Eastern because after going to every weekend game for the last 5 years to watch either Brian or I play I'm sure this place started to grow on Sean. Also he probably didn't want to be "that guy" that broke tradition.
Any last thoughts? Because of our age difference I've never been able to play with Sean in either high school or college so far and I'm sure it will be a great year. Coach Axel is a very family oriented man and always takes time after the game to talk to all the parents. My junior/senior years of HS I had the chance to talk to coach after my older brother's games and that definitely drove me to come here and I'm sure the same thing happened with Sean as well.
Sean
What other colleges did you look at? I was looking at SUNY Farmingdale and SUNY Plattsburgh.
Why Eastern? I chose eastern because 2 of my brothers before me came here and both loved it.
Have you played with your brothers before? I have never had the chance to play with Kevin on the lacrosse field in the past but watching him play I knew it would be a great experience. Kevin is a great leader and always helps me to become a better player and teammate. I enjoy playing the game my whole family grew up playing along side my older brother and hope to one day play and lead like he has.
Drew/Angus:
Drew
Are you excited to play with Angus? I really enjoy having Angus here at Eastern and on our team. We got to play together (hockey and lacrosse) for a year in high school and it went way to fast. We started playing together again this past summer with Shocker, and the experience has been great.
Did he choose Eastern because you were on the team? I believe Angus chose Eastern not just because I was on the team but our other brother Aiden is here as well.
Are you guy’s closer because you've played together? We are very close; we share a lot of the same interests and like to do the same kind of things. As far as lacrosse goes, he's helped me improve a number of ways. I appreciate Angus putting in the extra hours with me outside of practice, and I truly value the opinions and advice he offers. Having played with him this year will be the best memory I take away from Eastern Lacrosse.
Angus
Were you looking anywhere else? I had the choice between Eastern, Stonehill College, an Assumption College, and I found Eastern to be the right fit
Why did you choose Eastern? I chose eastern because it provides me with great academics along with an environment to succeed in.
Have you played with Drew Before? I had the chance to play hockey and lacrosse with him in high school and I am just glad that I get to go through that experience again. Eastern is a great school both academically and athletically and I am glad I get to share that experience with him
Michael/Brendan:
Mike
Are you excited to play with Brendan? I am extremely excited to play with him; I’ve been looking forward to it for years
Why do you think Brendan Chose Eastern? I might have had a little influence on his decision be he really likes Coach Axel as do my parents.
Have you guys played together before? We have played together since youth all the way through high school. It adds another special aspect to the game and I thoroughly enjoy playing with him.
Brendan
Why did you choose Eastern? I chose eastern because it had everything I was looking for in a school great education in my major, great lacrosse and just an all-around nice campus.
Do you like playing with Mike? I think it's awesome that I get the opportunity to play with my older brother. I enjoy having him on the team and doing something we both love together. I was lucky to have had the chance to play with my brother for two years in high school before he graduated
