Why did you choose this school? “This college seems to be the best fit for me, both academically and athletically. I loved the campus, the lacrosse facilities, and the team culture. All the girls were so nice and seemed to all get along really well. Academically, ODU offers up to 130 majors which gives me lots of options to study in college.”

I’d like to thanks Coach John Geary (Merion Mercy) and Club Director Josie Ferri (Philly Blast) for all you’ve taught me. Big Thanks to Coach Caroline Dodds!
