Menzel on Lindley
“I was drawn to Allison’s competitiveness and composure on the golf course right away. She is coming off an outstanding summer and picked up valuable experience, playing against the best junior golfers throughout the summer. Allison is a great athlete, not only setting numerous golf records for her high school, but leading her basketball team to a few of the most successful seasons they have seen in a while. Allison is excited to play in the Big Ten and I believe her work ethic and desire to win will make her a great addition to our program.”
