Nazareth Academy
* College plans: Soccer at Boston College; NCAA Division I
* College major: Undecided but leaning toward psychology
* Reasons I chose Boston College: “Because they play in the (Atlantic Coast Conference), which is the best conference in soccer, and I felt a great connection with the coaches and players during the recruiting process. It’s also a really beautiful campus – an amazing place to spend the next four years. I chose (academically) because it’s a top university known for its rigorous education, and academics are always my No. 1.”
* Recruiting memories: “I had visited a number of schools, but once I stepped onto BC’s campus and spent time with the girls on the team, my decision was easy.”
* On playing college sports: “I have always known I wanted to play a college sport and early in high school I made the decision that I wanted to play soccer over basketball. Sports have always been such a big part in my life, so knowing I had the opportunity to keep playing in college was amazing.”
*What I learned from high school sports: “Playing on the Naz basketball team was my favorite part of high school. I made life-long friendships and had amazing coaches who really cared about us. I feel being a part of the team helped me become a strong leader and showed me how a team is more than just a group of girls who play together. It’s a real family. I would not change this experience for the world and am so proud of what we accomplished in our four years.”
