Why do
you play?
I love it, I really mean that...I hate to go home at the end of
practice, I would stay on that field all night if I could. Playing
lacrosse for Philadelphia University has been the most fun I've
ever had, I never liked lacrosse until I played here. We have an
awesome coaching and training staff and a fun group of girls. |
Why are
you a goalie?
I think I am just a goalie by nature, it's what I do. |
How important
is the goalie position?
Same as any position on the field, extremely important. |
Any advice
for aspiring goalies?
Don't get down on yourself, a strong mental game is the best quality
a goalie can have. |
Quote
regarding the goalie position
A goalie is only as good as the defense in front of her. |
