Bucks County’s Christian DeAngelis, U.S. U-19 Men's National Team athlete, shares his decision to verbally commit to Old Dominion University’s field hockey program, a NCAA Division I program. DeAngelis will serve as a practice player for the Monarchs, working out with the team as would any other player. And although he will not be participating in any NCAA-sanctioned matches or traveling with the team, DeAngelis’ role will be integral in the day-to-day training with ODU, a historically strong program in the Big East that topped reigning National Champion, University of Delaware, early in the 2016 season.
