Places I've traveled with Soccer
Up and down the east coast from Florida to Maine with the Richmond Strikers

Best memory from 2007 Regionals:
Riding down the highway towards the fields crammed 7 to a car listening to Lindsey Wicher sing to get us pumped. Getting a piggy back ride from goalkeeper Lindsey Rowe right after the whistle of the finals.

Why I want to be a national champion:
I want to win it for my team. I don't know another group of 16 girls that deserve it more than us. I want to be able to lift the national championship trophy up high over my head with 15 other pairs of hands right next to me. I want to prove to everyone that dedication, sacrifice, teamwork (and a little bit of skill) all come together in the end and is worth every moment after that final whistle.
