(On Why You Chose Emory)
"I chose Emory because it just felt right for me. I knew that I would be playing for an extremely talented and competitive team with coaches who love what they do and treat you like family. Emory offered me all of this and presented challenging academics, a combination that is not easy to come by at other universities."
