Why did you choose Delaware State?

 I chose Delaware State because the girls were nice here and I felt welcomed as soon as I got on campus and the coaches were happy to have me on the team

What have you learned so far since joining the program?

I learned that now as we get older we must start playing as a team and help each other get through the tough times.

My favorite thing about the program is that the coaches are here to help us and the girls are very family like.

How have you felt the fall season went for the team?

I feel like the fall season was a learning experience for all of us because we were all getting to know each other and how we play.
