The New Jersey Pride made Daniels' dreams come true when they selected the two-year, second-team All-Ivy standout in the fifth round. Daniels was thrilled to gain some pro experience last summer, and next year hopes to make the starting roster. "I've gotten a feel for the level of talent in this league just by practicing with these guys, and I feel like if I go all-out and train for an entire year, I can come into camp and make a team," he told The Boston Globe. "I know this is going to be the peak of my athletic career, so I'll do whatever I have to do to make it in MLL." Watch for Daniels' younger brother, Tim 'OB, who joins the Big Green lax squad this spring.
