What will you major in/study? Sociology

Why did you choose school? “I chose Gettysburg because it offers the perfect balance outstanding athletic and academic opportunity. The coaching staff is second to none and the girls on the team are great! It has everything I am looking for in a school and I could not be more thrilled about my decision.”

Outlook for your High School team? “I am looking forward to another record breaking year with Irwins! Although we lost a few key seniors, our team has so much depth which is why we have been so successful. If we keep working hard, I know there is nothing standing in our way.”

Other comments: “I would like to first thank my parents for their constant support and trust in my decision. I could not have done it without them. I would also like to thank my coaches, Jen Duckenfield, Jen Raech, Brooke Fritz and Kelyn Freedman for their time and efforts that made me the player I am today; Courtney Dougherty, for her constant motivation and belief in me; and finally, my STEPS and Agnes Irwin teammates and friends. None of this would have been possible without each one of you.
