SENIOR SPOTLIGHT

My favorite Samford memory:
My favorite memory was when I hit the crossbar my freshman year to get us out of fitness.

One thing I'll miss the most about Samford soccer:
I'll definitely miss the girls on the team the most.

The most important thing I could tell freshmen about college life and playing soccer is:
I would tell them to come in fit and in shape, because it will make your life a lot easier. Also, enjoy the girls while you can because your four years go by a lot faster than you think.

The lessons that I have learned from playing soccer that will help me in my everyday life:
Playing soccer and being in school really helped me to learn how to manage my time.
