QUOTABLE "This is crazy honestly. I started playing soccer when I was four. My grandparents, I call them my parents now, they did so much for me taking me to all these tournaments all over Kansas City, North Carolina, and it's just been a lot of hard work, but it's all paid off. It's like a weight off my shoulders like 'I did it!' Hendrix will challenge me not only athletically but also academically. It's a great school, and when I graduate with a degree from Hendrix that's a very good thing."
