Who is your favorite athlete at Maryland? everyone
Tell your favorite/funny softball story: One time we were in our hotel and "someone" filled up the bathroom garbage can with water and leaned it against one of our assistant coach's door so when she opened it, the water spilled into the room. Oops!
I came to Maryland because: Ohio was too cold and snowy

One word to describe me on the field is: determined
