'I chose Penn State because I really felt comfortable and liked the overall environment of the school.' QUOTING COACH PETRINI ON RENWICK
'One word comes to mind when I think of Alyssa and that is smooth. She is a very slick fielding shortstop and extremely solid defensively. We have worked to improve her offensive game and she has really embraced that side of the ball. I think she is going to take a lot of opposing defenses by surprise this year. The team looks to her for her calm leadership in tough situations.'
