From US Lacrosse
US Lacrosse announces Larsen Bidstrup of Byfield, Massachusetts and William Hudson of Atlanta, Georgia as the recipients of 2015 Michael Breschi Scholarships.
Established in 2007 to honor the life and memory of Michael Breschi, son of University of North Carolina men’s lacrosse head coach, Joe Breschi, the scholarships are awarded annually to two graduating high school seniors who plan to attend college and are the son or daughter of a coach who serves as a full-time employee of an educational institution. Criteria considered include academic qualifications, extracurricular activities, internships, community service and employment experience. US Lacrosse administers the scholarships, with winners selected annually by the Breschi family.
Bidstrup is a 2015 graduate of The Governor’s Academy in Byfield and is attending Harvard University, where he will be a member of the men’s lacrosse team. The academic dean at Governor’s Academy describes Bidstrup as a talented and thoughtful young man.
“Larsen is kind and polite and always ready to have fun and be involved with the community,” said Dean Elaine White. “While he is an intense competitor on the field, there is not much that riles him off the field. He is often a peacemaker among his friends, the one who can talk a buddy down after a fight with a girlfriend, or the one who knows when the teasing crosses the line. He has a good head and a kind heart.”
Hudson is a 2015 graduate of The Westminster School in Atlanta and will be playing lacrosse at College of Holy Cross. One of his advisors at Westminster says that he is mature, enthusiastic and a positive leader.
“William is committed to all aspects of his school and community,” writes David Drake in his letter of recommendation. “His enthusiasm for task encourages other students to raise their level of involvement in any project. I have watched his positive presence with his classmates. He commands the respect of all who know him, and he possesses integrity of the highest order.”
“On behalf of my wife Julie and four beautiful daughters, we are thrilled with this year’s recipients of the Michael Breschi scholarship,” Joe Breschi said. “We want to thank all the applicants who shared their personal stories with us and for US Lacrosse for continuing to keep our son Michael’s memory alive. William and Larsen personify the type of people we would have wanted Michael to be around. They are two young men of great faith and perseverance who have worked hard to achieve excellence both in the classroom and on the playing field. We wish both William and Larsen tremendous success on their journey through college the next four years.”
“US Lacrosse would like to extend its best wishes to William at Holy Cross and to Larsen at Harvard,” said Ann Carpenetti, vice president of lacrosse operations at US Lacrosse. “Both of these young men have outstanding credentials, and both have exciting futures ahead of them. US Lacrosse is honored to work with Coach Breschi and his family in awarding this scholarship to exemplary student athletes such as these.”
