Why did you choose this school? “From my first visit to campus, Coach Meghan (McDonough) and all the girls on the team made me feel like part of the family. The challenging academics, size of the school and being part of a competitive D3 lacrosse program was exactly what I was looking for in a college. The campus is great and I really like the location with easy access to the city. Everything about CUA is a perfect fit for me.”

HS team’s outlook for 2016 season? “Our team has been working very hard in the off season and we are coming together as a unit. This year we have new coaches and I think we will be a tough team to beat. I am excited to see what this season brings.”
