“He gets out there and he’s like a bull in a china shop,” Old said.
At times this aggression can take him a little too far, as Chandis missed the game against Maine due to a red card he had received in a game against Hartford for tackling.
Currently Chandis is looking at the remainder of his soccer season and his spring lacrosse season expectantly. When asked his goals for his teams he blatantly responded, “Win everything.”
Despite soccer’s loss to Yale this past weekend, Chandis is very positive regarding his team’s ability to win Ivies as well as earn an NCAA berth.
“We’re a very underrated team. I’m confident in what we’re capable of. With regards to Yale, our team believes in the motto, ‘Cut us down, and we’ll grow back stronger.’ Quite stronger.”
He has similar good faith in the lacrosse team.
“We’re a young team with a lot of potential. Our veterans will do a good job of showing the young guys the ropes,” Chandis said.
Certainly any success either team has will be partially attributable to the vicious 5’10” defenseman in the backfield. And with the high standards Chandis sets for himself as well as the way his intensity pushes his teams, there’s a chance that Chandis could have two different Ivy League titles before he graduates.
