Bio
Why Lehigh? “I chose Lehigh because of the beautiful campus, and amazing academic and softball programs.”
On Coach Troyan: “Coach is funny and has ways to make even the most tedious workouts fun.”
On Lehigh softball experience: “The Lehigh softball experience means more than anything I could ask for.

I have created bonds and relationships that will last a lifetime.”
