Ian Mize

The combination of mental and physical abilities is what makes it such a cool sport. You’re always moving. The play never really stops more than ten seconds or so.

DOWN THE ALLEY Mize scores against ESD, tying the score in the first quarter of the Lions’ second game of the season.

FUTURE TIGER

Visiting the Princeton University campus, Nov. 6, 2020, Mize stands outside of Nassau Hall, the university’s oldest building.

THE TURF

Mize overlooks the Sherrerd Field at the Class of 1952 Stadium, home to the university’s men’s and women’s lacrosse and field hockey teams.

STICKING WITH LAX

Having played lacrosse since his childhood, junior Ian Mize recently committed to playing

the Division I sport at Princeton University.

HUSTLING Dodging other players, Mize runs down the alley against Highland Park in the Lions’ last regular season game.

It’s always been a dream of mine

to play a Division I sport. Lacrosse was definitely an interest from a young age, so I was looking forward to that from the time I first started playing lacrosse. I also grew up watching my older brothers play, so that inspired me to want to play at the next level.

I want to come in on day one and make an impact on the team. I’ve never really sat on the bench, so I want

to continue that trend and try to make an impact my freshman year from the day I step on campus.
