Why Monmouth: "The reason why I came to Monmouth was it's location. Not only was it close to the shore, but it was close to my house. I knew going into college I wanted to stay close to home because of the connection I have with my family. I wanted my parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles to enjoy watching me play softball. I always had at least one family member at every one of my games growing up, and I wanted them to enjoy my accomplishment of playing Division I softball with me."
