Why did you choose this college? |
Besides the beautiful campus, Wofford offers the perfect balance of high academics and competitive D1 lacrosse. |
What Advice Would You Give Those Starting the Recruiting Process? |
Be very open to all schools that come your direction. |
Who Would You Like to Thank for Getting You to Here? |
John McClain, director of Florida Select Girls Lacrosse Club Program. Coach John did not only teach me everything I know lacrosse wise (from stick-skills to lacrosse IQ), but he guided me throughout the entire recruiting process, making sure where I end up is a good fit for me. I would also like to thank my parents for being supportive of every aspect of my lacrosse career. |
What are your first memories of the sport? |
When I came to my first lacrosse practice with a boys stick. |
What is Your Favorite Memory From Your High School Career? |
My whole team sprinting to our goalie, celebrating and jumping on each other after winning the first girls lacrosse state championship for my school |
What is Your Stick Brand? And Why? |
I play with a Gait Stick. I love the light weight of the shaft as well as the softness of the stringing and the quick release of the ball. |
Which Lacrosse Player Do You Most Want to Have a Meal With and Why? |
I would love to have a meal with Sam Apuzzo. This is because I grew up watching her, being inspired by her skills and work ethic. |
Do You Watch College & Pro Games and What Are You Watching for to Make You a Better Player? |
I love watching College and Pro games. I am able to learn from the older players, enhancing my lacrosse IQ when it comes to the little aspects of the game, such as dodging, draw controls, and defensive positioning. |
What’s Your Go-To Meal After a Game? |
Chipotle or an Açaí Bowl |
What’s the One Thing Your Teammates Would be Surprised to Know About You? |
My team would be surprised with how much I lift weights. I weight train almost everyday, but I always try to be mindful of the intensity of lacrosse at the time, making sure I do not over or under train. |
