Q & A:
Q: What is your favorite lacrosse moment?
A: Winning two state championships was an amazing accomplishment in my highschool career. The championship game junior year was probably my favorite moment though just because it was such a close game and I didn’t comprehend that we could actually win until the final whistle blew and our fans rushed the field.
Q: Who is your biggest lacrosse mentor?
A: One of my closest friends is an amazing lacrosse player who has so much passion for the sport. I have never seen anyone commit to anything with as much dedication as she commits to lacrosse. We started playing lacrosse together and anytime I get frustrated with a running workout or upset at a teammate I try to remember why we both started playing and why we both love the sport.
Q: What comes to mind when you think Ryan Powell and Rhino Lacrosse?
A: Great opportunities for West Coast lacrosse players. Rhino truly is bringing Oregon lacrosse to a whole new level.
Q: Can you tell us what you currently do with yourself?

Q. If you had to come up with a goal for you and your lacrosse career, what would it be?
A: In the past OWU has won their conference tournament multiple times. I hope to see a few more NCAC Championships won in my four years.
Q: What is the best goal that you have ever scored or ever seen?
A: During a huge in conference game one of my teammates got a pass off-hand side quickly brought the ball across her body and hit a really cool behind the back shot. Everybody went nuts….it was sweeeet.
