Why Lehigh? “Lehigh offers great opportunities for both the academic and athletic world. It allows me to balance both while having an enjoyable college experience. ”

On the Lehigh softball experience: “You are given the opportunity to play alongside a diverse group of women, each of whom brings her own unique talent to the game. Together, we bring focus and attention. We play hard when we step onto the field. We also share plenty of laughs on and off the field. More importantly, we are able to balance softball and the other aspects of our life in order to ensure we get the most out of our experience at Lehigh.”
