DES MOINES, IA - Forward Reed Lebster announced his commitment to the University of Massachusetts Amherst today.

"We're so excited for Reed and this is a representation of the hard work and diligence he has put in," Head Coach Gene Reilly said. "He has earned this opportunity through committing to overcome adversity and getting better each and every day."
