What are your goals for the upcoming season? I want to have a good batting average

Why did you choose SWU? I chose SWU because after doing some research, the criminal justice program piqued my interest and they had a softball program as well.  It also wasn't that far away from my home.

What is your favorite thing about SWU?  The friends that I have made on the softball team

Why is your sport important to you?  It's important because I have put a lot of my time and effort into the sport to get to where I am.  It's also an interest that my sister and I share.

Who is your greatest influence in life? Why?  My greatest influence would be my sister.  She has shown me that if I work hard at something then I can achieve anything.

Where do you want to be in five years?  In five years, I want to be in law enforcement and eventually working my way into becoming a criminal investigator or something along that path.

Do you have a nickname? What is it? How did you get it?  The team calls me Knapper.  On a previous team, we had too many Madison's that it was decided to call me by my last name.

Favorite food? Sushi
