Reason you chose your number: I chose number 4 because it has always been my number and it is my favorite. It’s my lucky number.
What is your biggest sports’ thrill: Last year in the 2011 Women’s world cup final game when they were facing Japan; even though they lost the whole time while watching that game I was on edge. I was at work and I watched every minute it was heart breaking but was so intense the whole time.
Pre-game Rituals: Before the game a just like to listen and dance to music then have a good time and just relax; get ready and get loose before the game.
Greatest Sports Memory: My greatest sports memory was in 2011 while playing my last game of the season. We were playing our conference rival and they needed to win that game to make it into the playoffs. In the first half my roommate and I wound up scoring two goals back to back after being down by one. Maggie took the ball off her chest and volleyed it with her left foot right into the back of the net. A bit later we received a free kick outside the 18; I took it and placed it upper 90. It was so exciting we had just got ahead in the game, and my best friend/roommate and I had finally scored in the same game. It was so exciting.
