WHY LEHIGH?
"Growing up as a coach's daughter, I was taught the importance of being a good teammate. Basketball games do not go on forever, but it can help to build your character for the future. I chose Lehigh because I saw the well-rounded, hard-working, talented team with coaches who care about their players beyond what they can do on the basketball court. I want a place where I have to push myself in the classroom and on the court, and Lehigh was the perfect place for me."
