Why did you choose Georgian Court? “I was looking at a lot of colleges and the one thing GCU had that the others didn’t was a very tight-knit team that was very welcoming. Coach (Amy) Rizzo is also very goal oriented and wants to keep improving as a team, and with the upcoming class and my class she did a very good job of making sure that the success would continue.”
Outlook for 2018 HS season: “It will definitely be a rebuilding year so I just want it to be a fun one and hopefully make it past the first round of playoffs.”
Thank You: “I would like to thank my mom for driving me an hour and a half away for practice and even further for tournaments. I would also like to thank my travel coaches, Rob Grella and Molly Arnette, for helping me with the recruiting process and making me the best player I could be.”
