We are truly saddened by the loss of alumni Jamie Bishop in the Virginia Tech shooting on April, 16, 2007.
Jamie is respected and remembered as a good man; an intelligent, happy, easygoing yet focused and determined teammate. He was an evasive and agile player, able to change direction on a dime, high step around opponents and almost bounce off the ground if tackled. His long long legs provided a speed like lightning. He was known for bursts of speed and then a circling accurate shot at goal. More than that, Jamie was simply an amazing person and ALWAYS wore a smile. some of us were lucky to know this enthusiastic, genuine person. He touched everyone he met in a positive way.
