According to Jamieson: "Chris Cara is without any question one of the very best attackmen we've ever had at Bucknell. He has fantastic quickness and incredible vision, and he obviously knows the game of lacrosse. He has developed the ability to be both a scorer and a feeder, and as a result he has in a sense doubled his productivity. More importantly, he is forcing defenders to play on him at all times. If they help on someone else he is going to burn them."
