Why Lehigh?: "I chose Lehigh because coach Calabrese is everything I would want in a coach and she truly understands me as a player. I wanted to play soccer at a high level and still get a great education and Lehigh became that place for me. I believe I will be very challenged in the Patriot league and hopefully make a positive and immediate impact at Lehigh. I love the program Coach Cal is creating at Lehigh and I feel as if she is continuing to elevate Lehigh soccer and I am very grateful to be in Coach Calabrese’s first recruiting class. I definitely will be challenged academically and I love the Lehigh community. There are many efforts for diversity and anti-racism, which were two big things to me when choosing a school. Being a black woman, I want to be in spaces when I am comfortable and appreciated."
