PERSONAL: Daughter of Amy and Andy Hugo.
Chose the University of South Carolina because: “I chose USC because I not only fell in love with the campus, but I just absolutely loved the family dynamic that coaches and players have created with the soccer team. The team is also very competitive and year after year they perform at the highest of levels. Academically, it’s a great school and I feel that I will be challenged and pushed to be the best student, athlete, and overall person I can be while attending USC.”
