(Rhode Island has) a really good soccer program, and it's a really good school. It's a totally different area from where I am from, and it's right by the beach, so that's pretty cool. And as far as the size, Rhode Island seemed to be the perfect size for me.

I guess all the hard work really does pay off. I've really worked hard over the last four years, and to make this honor really does prove that if you work hard things can come out well for you.
