| Hanover native Patrick Hannigan (30) led RIT to the brink of a national championship at Gillette Stadium. While things didn't end the way he had hoped, the former Indian star reflected fondly on his career in Rochester. |

Sports are hard. Being a captain is harder.
Being a captain of an elite team takes a special type of player. Not only are you expected to play at a high level, but you must lead your team on and off the field. Part player, part coach, being a team captain is not for the faint of heart.
Patrick Hannigan is captain material.
The Hanover native captained the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) men’s lacrosse team this season, and led it all the way to Sunday’s national title game at Gillette Stadium. The Tigers lost 15-7 to Salisbury, but the game had an added meaning for Hannigan, who finished his college career 45 minutes from his hometown.
