Why: It was very difficult choosing a university to go to as I
was deciding between 3-4 great D1 schools to further my athletic and academic
career. Ultimately, I came to a final decision to go to the University of
Minnesota. Education, as always, came first, and I was very impressed with the
academics as well as career planning and internships that would come along as
being a student athlete. More than anything, the support systems I have in
Minnesota that consists of my family and the opportunity to put them in a
position of financial security both now and once I graduate was too
good of a possibility to pass up. Also, the amazing athletic opportunities that
await me at the university including state of the art facilities as well as a
greatly historic team with a bright future, and an expert coach in Coach
Placensia with great pedigree to his name were things that led me to my decision
in choosing the U of M. Much thanks and gratitude goes to my great coaches and
family for assisting me in the recruiting process.
