PERSONAL: Parents Robert White and Toby Cohen...chose Vassar over the University of Wisconsin at Madison, University of Minnesota, Penn State University, University of Iowa and University of Arizona because "it best ties in my desire to be a student-athlete. I want to be as competitive as possible in both fields and Vassar College has offered me great opportunity in both."
