WHY PENN STATE
"I chose Penn State because it had everything I wanted in a school: outstanding athletics, academics, and school spirit. Once I visited I knew it was where I belonged, because it felt like home. The culture of the soccer program and school is second to none, making the decision easy. I knew that I would be pushed in all aspects to reach my potential, while having the support of a great team. I grew up with a Penn State family and cannot wait to join them!"
