My favorite experience was notre dame and we crammed Allison, Rainee, Chloe and I into one dorm room that bad one twin size bed and moved another mattress in there and slept all 4 of us on 2 twin beds and it was so hot but we were scared to be separated so the parents bought us a couple fans.

 

Who do you think has surprised you the most this season with how they have played?

Sabrina, she has been a huge help to our team this year and came in and excepted the role she had to play without complaining and has definitely made us better as a team with her basketball skills and her great attitude.

 

How have you surprised yourself this year?

That I feel that I continue to improve each day by the help of my teammates pushing me to be better everyday and they are always there to support me.
