Why Lehigh? “I chose Lehigh because of the tremendous academics and the competitive softball team. The campus is breathtaking, and the team is incredibly welcoming, as are the students in general. I felt that Lehigh would be the best college for helping me to become a well-rounded human being, with its perfect balance of athletics and academics.”

On Coach Troyan: “He is a fantastic coach. He is very clear with his orders and demands, and he is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. I would also make a note of his hilarious sense of humor.”

On the Lehigh softball experience: “To me, the Lehigh softball experience is not just about playing and succeeding on the field, but it’s also about bonding with my teammates and creating lifelong friendships.”
