Member Commitment: Jackson Mandli, Class of 2013, Elmhurst College

Jacson-Mandli-ProfileJackson Mandli (Jupiter, Florida/Salisbury School) has committed to play lacrosse at Elmhurst College.

Located in Illinois, Emhurst College is coming off its first year as a Varsity program in 2013. It debuted this Spring as the school’s 19th Varsity athletic team.

Led by head coach Mark Morrell, the Blue Jays compete at the DIII level in the Midwest Lacrosse Conference. They finished their inaugural season with a 4-10 record.
