Matt Waters is a midfielder who makes things happen.

“I am strong between the lines as well and am able to push the tempo and creates scoring situations,” said the sophomore at  Rumson-Fair Haven (N.J.).

Those skills translate to success at the next level, which will be at the University of Delaware. Waters’ commitment was first reported last week by Joe Lombardi on LaxLessons.com’s Lacrosse Insider premium coverage section.

The 6-foot, 170-pound righty is an athletic player who is also a football standout. He enjoyed a strong summer for the Team United travel program.
