I am very excited to join the Mount Saint Mary College community and be a part of a campus that dedicates themselves on being selfless and making a positive impact on those around them. I cannot wait to build relationships with the members of the team and get to work to continue the success of the program and strive to reach new achievements on and off the field,” stated Farley.
