Alpha Omega Lambda Brothers Team Up To Present The Joseph Ferrante Memorial Scholarship

More than 50 Alpha Omega Lambda brothers, friends, donors and past recipients came together on April 13 to present junior lacrosse midfielder Jack McNallen with this year’s Joseph Ferrante Memorial Scholarship.

McNallen made his first TU career appearance this season against St. Mary’s before winning an impressive four of six face-offs against No. 2 Cornell—a game in which he also scored his first collegiate goal. He has played a key role in developing the Tigers’ face-off corps.

The Ferrante Scholarship honors the memory of the late Joseph Ferrante, unsung hero of the 1974 championship men’s lacrosse team, and will provide $6,000 toward McNallen’s 2019 fall semester expenses.
