Outstanding interview! She represents everything about the Hokie Nation culture.
Wow! Great interview she said some pretty profound things about the state of the program. I wish all of our sports were like this. I look at Women’s BB, Baseball and Softball and all of those teams seem to have a hard work give my all for the program mentality.
Great young lady! She will be a great teammate for the other players.
All fans love winning teams but this team just gets more likable with every player I learn about. What a nice girl she must be to have as a teammate. It will be easy to cheer for her & this team again this year. Glad she’s now a Hokie!
I fell in love with this team during Covid, alone at home but I got to see them on TV in an empty Cassel. They were playing for themselves, but I felt they were playing for me. I’ve caught them live, on TV on my laptop ever since.
May they keep on making me happy and winning along the way.
Well, that was an easy interview, you didn’t have to drag anything out of her, just ask the question and let her rip. Love the “we” talk, understanding the atmosphere and ready to go.
Wow. To hear her perspective on coach Brooks, the staff and the culture really makes you grateful for this program. She will be a real leader and calming force.
Awesome young lady!
First class. High class. Very excited she’s a Hokie.
What a thoughtful, articulate, impressive person! Glad she’s a Hokie!
