Maryland men’s lacrosse midfielder Anthony DeMaio has a large, supportive family, but for much of his college career, he was over 2,700 miles apart from them.
Demaio’s brother and teammate Nick DeMaio was with him in College Park, but his parents Tom and Nicole DeMaio, as well as his four younger sisters were on the other side of the country in San Diego, California.
But that all changed when the duo received a call from their parents one day this past August, telling the brothers that they would be relocating approximately 40 minutes away from campus in Urbana, Maryland.
