Chose the University of South Carolina because: “I chose South Carolina because of the sense of pride and community I felt. I knew it was somewhere I could be pushed not only athletically, but academically and personally as well. The family atmosphere within the program and the prioritization of female athletics within the university sealed the deal.”
