Why did you choose this college?
Kennesaw Georgia is one of the prettiest and most homely places I have ever been to. KSU also holds my ideal major, construction management, and the coaching staff and team could not be more welcoming! It is a real family environment.

What Advice Would You Give Those Starting the Recruiting Process?
Go big, if you don’t try you will never know! Make a list of all the schools you are interested in and email them keeping them updated on your tournaments and high school season.

Who Would You Like to Thank for Getting You to Here?
My parents Dan and Kristi Payne have made me the competitive and passionate person I am today!! Through my injury they helped me become stronger when lacrosse wasn’t there. I could not be more grateful to have such loving supportive parents! My sisters, Kelley and Savannah Payne have also pushed me to be the best athlete and person I could be!

What are your first memories of the sport?
My first memories would be watching my older sister Kelley play for Swerve lacrosse club, watching her play inspired me to want to be just like her.

What is Your Favorite Memory From Your High School Career?
My favorite memory would have to be our teams bus ride after an away game, we all just danced and sang and laughed so hard we were crying!

What is Your Stick Brand? And Why?
Gait, it is one of the best sticks I have ever had. My shots have never been more powerful or accurate.

Which Lacrosse Player Do You Most Want to Have a Meal With and Why?
Growing up a Florida Gator fan, my all-time idol is Shannon Gilroy! I hope to become as strong of an athlete even after an injury like her!

Do You Watch College & Pro Games and What Are You Watching for to Make You a Better Player?
When I watch pro games I look at their ball movement

What’s Your Go-To Meal After a Game?
Go to meal would have to be a tropical smoothie smoothie and wrap!

What’s the One Thing Your Teammates Would be Surprised to Know About You?
I am ambidextrous! I play lacrosse with my right hand, write with my left hand and can write with my right!
