Quote:

"When I chose to come to Emory, a Division III athletic institution, I worried that this academic pursuit would force me to compromise the level at which I've played softball all my life. I couldn't have been more mistaken. I am constantly challenged by my coaches and teammates to raise my level of competition and leave the feild each day with a greater sense of pride and accomplishment."
