What will you major in/study? Physical Education/minor in Coaching

Why did you choose Concordia-St. Paul? “I chose Concordia because it was the perfect fit for me. After I met the coach I was just drawn in she’s so amazing. She has a great sense of what she wants to do for the program and me as a player individually. Aside of the great coach the school is exactly what I was looking for, it’s small has my majors and a great upside of being just a half an hour away from home.”

HS team’s outlook for 2016 season? “This should be the peak of Prior Lake Girls Lacrosse. We have an abundance of amazing athletes on this team. I, and probably the lacrosse community as a whole, will expect Prior Lake to go far this year.”

Thank You: ” I would like to thank my amazing club coach Maria Slusser. I would never have had the dream to play beyond high school if she hadn’t been there.

“My Dad for all the support, time, effort, and money he’s put into my dream.

“Big thanks to my goalie coaches, Joe Nelson of TCM Lacrosse & Scott Cater of MN Elite Lacrosse.”

Other schools considered: Robert Morris University, Colorado State University Pueblo, Florida Southern University
