GREENEVILLE, Tenn. --- Eddie Schoenig has signed a national letter of intent to attend Tusculum College and play lacrosse for the Pioneers announced TC head coach Richard Carrington.

Schoenig, a goalie from Brewster, N.Y., is wrapping up his prep career at Brewster High School where he has led the Bears to a 6-2 record through their first eight contests. He is listed among the state's leaders in saves and is a long-time member of the Westchester Warriors Lacrosse Club.

"Eddie displays the kind of maturity and focus you rarely find in an 18-year-old," said Carrington. "His size, explosive saves, and vocal leadership will make an impact on our team, and I fully expect Eddie to compete for a starting position next spring."

Schoenig also lettered on the Bears' football team and plans to study science and pursue a career in the field of medicine.

Tusculum College, located in Greeneville, Tenn., is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church, USA and is a NCAA Division II member of the South Atlantic Conference.
