Opponent You'd Most Like to Beat: "North Carolina. We just played them and we

that if we had another chance, we would play for 90 minutes and have the result
we need."
Most Influential Person on Your Life: "Coach (Jillian) Ellis. I'm able to
understand her as a coach and as a person.

sounds kind of corny, but I just love being part of the UCLA women's soccer
team."

Team. That's just a dream of mine."

juggles."
Best Part About Your Game: "My speed."
Weakness: "Ball watching. When I'm not involved in the game and I'm just
watching other people play."
Most Memorable Soccer Moment: "When we beat USC my freshman year 3-1. I had a
goal and an assist."
On Competing With the U.S. National Team: "It was a great feeling because I'd
always wanted to be there. It took me a long time to get there but I finally
made it and that inspired me to work that much harder.
Most Embarassing Soccer Moment: "When I was like eight, I thought the ball was
out of bounds so I picked it up and gave the other team a free kick. It was
like my first ever hand ball."
