NEV BOYS: Nick Campo Signs with NDNU
May 16th, 2007
Bonanza senior middie Nick Campo has signed a national letter of intent to play NCAA Division II lacrosse at Notre Dame de Namur University.
Campo, who four days ago scored four goals and added two assists in the Las Vegas Lacrosse League championship game to lead Bonanza to its first league title, will be getting a full scholarship, he said.
Campo said he picked NDNU over Dowling (N.Y.).
"I wanted to be closer to home, and I'm pretty excited about playing for Coach (Joseph) Romano," Campo said. "It's just a program that's on the rise. He's a great guy, and I think he can lead us to a national title."
A three-time Las Vegas Lacrosse League First-Team, All-League selection, Campo was named WSL 2006 Nevada Player of the Year. He said he will be receiving $6,000 a year in scholarship money for lacrosse and $25,000 in scholarship money total to attend NDNU.
When he takes the field, Campo will be the first Nevadan to play NCAA lacrosse at the Division II level.
"I think (the level of play in the state) is definitely improving," Campo said. "We've got a few guys who are definitely going to be playing Division I in the next couple years. We've got some really good juniors in the state."
