  • Started playing lacrosse because all of her friends were; overcame showing up to her first practice to find out her mother had accidentally signed her up for an all-boys team; got into lacrosse a lot later than some of her friends because soccer was her main sport growing up
  • On why she chose Ohio State: “The atmosphere around Ohio State athletics is unlike any other school I was looking at – that was the main thing that helped me make my decision. The amount of people a part of Buckeye Nation in the Columbus area and around the country is insane and I wanted to be a part of that.”
