What has surprised you most about the University of Iowa?
“Iowa is an amazing college town. With no professional sports teams, the University of Iowa athletes are looked upon as role models in the community. It’s fun to be someone that people know.”
Do you have any pre-match rituals or superstitions?
“My pre-game ritual is dancing with the girls in the locker room. For superstitions:, I always told my mother that I would wear a bow in my hair to always remind her and myself that I was playing for her with love.”
Where is your favorite place to play on the road?
“No one else’s home is as nice as your own, but if I had to choose I’d say Penn State. They have a nice size gym with good lighting.”
