"When I first visited campus, I felt comfortable and at home straight away," said Nathan. "The campus was beautiful and everyone was so friendly. I am excited to help the team push for a place in the post season. I'm eager to develop my abilities on the field with the coaching staff as well as SHU being a place I can thrive academically in the Political Science and Business programs'.

"Sacred Heart University is everything I'm looking for when I think of my college experience," said Brennan. "When I first visited campus, I knew SHU was the place I wanted to spend my upcoming years. I can't wait to get started on the field and in the classroom, combining gaining an elite level education and helping the team achieve success".
A captain as a junior and senior at Farmington High School, Brennan was a class LL state champion, two-time All Sate Selection, three-time all-conference selection, two-time defender of the year and 2018 Hartford Currant defender of the year.
