Coach Brown said that Vari exhibits leadership both on and off the court.
 
“Jess meant so much to our team this  season," he said.
 
“ She was our on-the-court leader, not only vocally, but in the way she conducted herself with outstanding footwork in the post, is a skilled defender and is one of the hardest workers I've ever coached. We're going to miss her."
 
This year she was a co-captain and was 2nd team all conference during her senior year.

His coach Patrick Quinn has this to say about his senior.
 
“Our team motto is strength and honor and Bradley exemplifies these traits on a daily basis,” he said. 
 
  
 
 
 He runs straight towards and through the obstacles and challenges in his life and is always looking for opportunities for his teammates, he is a leader and a great lacrosse player.”
