Career Hi-light:

"Winning a really tough game 3-0 against St. Lawrence at the end of the season."


Best Lancer Moment:

"I can't pick just one, but I would say travelling to games with the team and getting to bond with each other."


Hardest Part of being a student athlete & how you handle it?

"The hardest part is missing classes, but if you stay on top of studying and you get the notes you missed in class you'll be fine!"


Favourite thing about being a Lancer:

"Getting to know different people throughout the school & representing my college."


Pre-game routine:

"I take a short nap on the bus, then the team will blare music and dance, then pre game huddles right before the game starts."
