On how she got into lacrosse: "I played flag football when I was younger and my dad suggested I try lacrosse because of the physicality of both sports and loved it! I started in spring of sixth grade."
On why she chose Ohio State: "I loved the big campus, the student-athlete community and the academics. Even after you graduate from Ohio State you will always have a place here. The women’s lacrosse team gets a lot of support and the facilities are incredible."
