Longwood University Athletics

Coach Gustafsson on Becker: “Eddie has continually grown as a player and as a person while here at Longwood and he will be relied upon to be a captain and a leader this spring for us. If he can find his form from the early fall, then he will be very difficult to deal with at the high spots in the lineup.”
