Max and Mallory met at their alma mater, the University of Vermont, during the cold winter months. Max was captain of a coed indoor intramural soccer team his senior year but (not so conveniently) only had his guy friends signed up to play. Mallory stumbled upon Max’s post on a university Facebook page looking for ladies to join their team so Mallory reached out. After both of them continuously saying to each other in passing that the team, "should get drinks after a game one night!"— They finally hung out once the season concluded and haven’t looked back.
