Phil Vestergaard is a versatile player both in the backfield at flank and in the center of the defense. At 6’4” he is tall, fast, can play in the center of the field, and is very good on the ball.
As a freshman, Phil played in 7 matches, starting 5, including against Amherst. In 2009, he started every game at right back.
This season, he hopes to be a bigger influence and present even more of a threat going forward.
