Chose CSU because: "I chose Colorado State because of the rare opportunity to play D1 softball AND pursue an amazing education. Colorado State is also known for having a top-rated biological/biomedical science program as well, and that's what I'm interested in. When I visited, everything just seemed to be a great fit for me. From the coaches and team to the school environment, CSU was like finding the needle in the haystack and I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to attend this University."
