Likewise, junior Zach Chandis has been an everyday player for both the men’s soccer and lacrosse teams since his freshman year.
However, Chandis and Fried came to play two sports in very different ways. Fried was recruited solely as a hockey player whereas Chandis was duly recruited by both the lacrosse and soccer programs.
Chandis was originally recruited by soccer coach John Kerr, but lacrosse coach Scott Anderson heard about Chandis’ skills as a lacrosse midfielder through some of his old high school teammates.
“When I came up for a visit, I met with both coaches separately and they felt if I could handle [playing both soccer and lacrosse], they would have no problems with me doing two sports, and they even encouraged it,” Chandis said.
While Fried and Chandis agree that playing two sports is incredibly challenging and increases risk of injury, both maintain that their play in one sport helps the other immensely.
