La Salle’s Matt Lopez Granted Release To Transfer

December 16, 2011 by Paul Gotham Leave a Comment

PHILADELPHIA – La Salle redshirt freshman Matt Lopez (Erial, N.J. / Washington Twp.) has requested, and been granted, a release  from his scholarship and plans to transfer.

“Matt and I have a great relationship and we have talked openly about many things. He specifically was interested in going to a new area,” head coach Dr. John Giannini said. “I totally support Matt’s reasons for taking a new path. He is a great person, a good student and helped our team a lot. He leaves La Salle in a very positive way.”

“I like La Salle and our team very much but for personal reasons I am excited about getting a fresh start,” Lopez said. “I am making a big change but it will help me in many ways. This is more than a basketball or school decision and Coach G has been very understanding.”

Lopez appeared in nine games this season for the Explorers.
