SENIOR SPOTLIGHT

My favorite Samford memory is:
When Coach Yelton "accidentally" called us all fat at practice and he had 26 girls all screaming at him! Thanks a lot Coach Yelton. We still have not let him live that moment down.

The things that I'll miss most about Samford soccer are:
The incredible game-winning goals, when we succeeded despite hardship, or when the crowd roars and every hair on my body stands, tears fill my eyes and I have a huge smile on my face. Only those moments can come from playing with this team.

The most important thing I can tell incoming freshmen is:
Make the best of every situation. Always work hard so that you don't have any regrets and don't take this part of life for granted. You will never be able to relive this time of your life and it goes by way too fast to catch up.
