“From the moment I stepped on campus, it felt like home. The energy was electric, and I was immediately drawn to the competitive environment that pushes you to be your best every day. I knew this was more than just a place to play; it was a place where I could grow both on and off the court. The sense of community, the support from coaches and teammates, and the opportunities to challenge myself academically and athletically made it clear that this was the perfect fit for me. I saw a future here where I could build lifelong connections, achieve my goals, and leave a lasting impact.”
