What are your goals for the upcoming season? 
"My upcoming goals for this season are to really let my experience show and be as a leader on the field. I think my professionalism and poise on the mound will help the rest of the team play relaxed and help lead us to wins. Another goal is to make the conference tournament. This task will be a challenge as another team has been added to our conference this year, but I think we have the team to do it."

Why did you choose SWU? 
"Coming from a university where the baseball team was very family-like, I was looking to find another team that was similar.
