My favorite soccer moment so far: watching Clory and Beth reunite before our NCAA game last year

Who got me interested in soccer: all of my cool friends who kept wearing their uniforms to school

The best soccer advice I ever had was: "Sometimes you've just got to give in and go for it. How will you ever know what you're capable of if you never give it all you have?"

I chose my current uniform number because: I didn't, but now that I think about four times seven IS 28 and thats alright by me.

The Rice team I like to watch play their sport: baseball

My most embarrassing moment or thing that ever happened to me: During a very cold night game my high school senior year, I had the flu so my mouth and nose were really congested. I went up hard for a ball, and as I headed it, I grunted really loud, except my mouth was closed. So, the grunt actually came out of my nose and a huge snot rocket landed on the shoulder of the girl I was marking. Oh well, she gave me extra space the rest of the match.

I describe myself as: easy going

Coach Huston thinks I am: a hard worker

My favorite coach Huston expression is: anything she says after she does "the hand rub"
