What does it mean to you to be a Davidson student athlete?
Being a Davidson student athlete means you're held to a higher standard, but in a good way. I get to combine my two great ambitions--being a great athlete and being a great student. Being a student athlete here has given me the tools to succeed after college.
What is unique to you about being a Davidson student athlete?
Competing for a prestigious academic institution that invests just as much time and effort into athletics as academics is pretty special.
What would you like to say to donors who make your experience possible?
Without you, my four years at Davidson would not have been the same. I am so grateful and proud to have had the unique opportunity to call myself a Davidson student athlete. Thank you for your continued support.
If you could talk to all the alumni members of your team to motivate them for the Wildcat Top 21, what would you say?
You set a legacy at Davidson, and there is no better time to continue that legacy. Davidson volleyball holds such a special place in all our hearts and we can pave the way for future SoCon tournament winners.
