🕷️ ONE BIG THING

Creo qué… Which means “I think that” Gavin Creo is a beast! The Spider lacrosse player was just named to Inside Lacrosse’s Power 100 Freshmen Rankings. He sits at No. 62 and is one of two Atlantic 10 players to make the list. Creo comes from Rockville Centre, N.Y., where he was captain and MVP of his high school team. In just three months, you can see him in the Spiders home game against Maryland on Feb. 3. 🥍 Find out more about Creo here.
