D'Youville's Schwartz, Mercy's Wallace, Molloy's Healy and Russo Attend NCAA Student-Athlete Leadership Forum

FRISCO, Texas – D'Youville's Logan Schwartz, Mercy's Riley Wallace, and Molloy's Kathleen Healy and Alex Russo represented the East Coast Conference at the 2025 NCAA Student-Athlete Leadership Forum (SALF) in Frisco, Texas from November 20-23. Created in 1997, the NCAA's SALF has served as a life-changing experience for more than 5,000 student-athletes who have grown personally and professionally as a result of their attendance. "The NCAA SALF was truly an amazing experience, and I was so grateful to be present," said Schwartz, a senior member of the D'Youville men's lacrosse team. "Everyone was so friendly from the first day, and I made a lot of amazing connections in a short amount of time. One thing I valued from the experience was understanding where I can improve as a leader and tools I can use to develop those skills to help not only my team, but my school. On the last night, our teams competed in a lip sync battle that was so much fun and got me to stretch my comfort zone! I learned a lot of valuable skills from other leaders and learned that many student athletes share similar experiences. I plan to utilize the skills I learned in not only being a student athlete, but also professional development. I’d like to thank the NCAA, the ECC, and D’Youville for such a great opportunity!" riley wallace quote
