Kalish on Lara:
"Luis has proven over the last four years that he can be an elite attacker in NCAA Division I. He is an intelligent, hard-working forward who will lead the front line with his pressing, while also having the ability to create and score goals. Luis is an elusive attacker who can beat you off the dribble, play in combination and play in between the lines. Off the field, his contagious personality will be a valuable piece to our locker room and culture."
 
Lara on why he chose Saint Louis: 
"I chose SLU because of the immense history of the program and its players. I felt like it was the best place for me to further my playing career and the ambition of the coaching staff and team showed that."
