WHAT SHE’S DONE:

FAVORITE CAREER MOMENT:
“Beating Gettysburg at home last year. It was a great feeling to rise to the occasion and beat one of the top teams in the conference.”

WHAT SHE WANTS TO DO:
“To make it to the playoffs. I think we are underestimated in the conference this year. We just want to play hard each game and prove hat we are one of the top teams.”
