In this video, seniors Salma Dwidar, Donovan Mason and Finley Knapp give a brief idea of what the process was like for them. Next year, Dwidar will attend the University of Massachusetts Boston, Mason will attend Louisiana State University and Knapp will be going to Hamilton College, where she will play National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III field hockey.
