Why Lehigh?: “The high level of academics drew me to the school, and the campus and the people sealed the deal. After meeting the team, I recognized the quality of the people attending this university, and it was comforting. In two days it felt like home, and I knew I'd be spending the next four years of my life here.”
On Coach Maurer: “I'm really excited about the direction Coach Maurer is taking this team. In the spring season alone she has made a complete turn around with the program. That is enough for me to feel totally comfortable going into the season. Also on a personal level she has been available to answer any questions I have had, and has really made sure that I will be taken care of in when I arrive on campus early in the summer.”
On playing volleyball at Lehigh: “Honestly the volleyball isn't what drew me to Lehigh. I wanted a university where I could feel at home even if I was injured and couldn't play. For me playing volleyball is a privilege that I have been granted, and I am extremely excited about it!”
