“From the moment I stepped on campus at the U, it felt like a second home.  Between the coaches, current team members and future teammates I found a lot of people who believed in me, and believed in my dream.  I will have people who encourage me to work hard, and achieve the goals I set for myself that’s what Minnesota is all about.  I want to become a champion and I know that with the help of my new family, including my coaches and teammates, that this goal is attainable.”
