If there’s one word that best sums up Stephen Quinzi, it would be versatility.
The junior from Pittsford High School (N.Y.), located 10 miles southeast of Rochester, can play midfield or attack, and is strong with either hand.
So it should come as no surprise that Quinzi has become the 15th junior from the Sweetlax travel program to commitment to a Division I program.
Quinzi has decided on Georgetown University, as first reported at Twitter.com/joe_lombardi.
Now, here a Q&A with Stephen on his commitment.
