Jon Hunt on UNE: "The University of New England is a strong vibrant community. Our beautiful location, wonderful faculty and staff, and strong academics combine with athletics to provide each student-athlete with a positive learning experience. I feel that athletics is an extension of the overall educational experience and can enhance the student-athlete's ability to develop leadership skills, work cooperatively with teammates toward a common goal, and to deal with both success and adversity. Our lacrosse program attracts student-athletes that possess the enthusiasm and desire to compete at the highest level. We are driven by a hard-working, never-settling attitude and passion for the game. The goals of the Nor'easters' lacrosse team is to achieve regional and national recognition in the classroom, as well as on the field."
