Hmm if I could script my collegiate debut it would go a little
like this... Playing Quinnipiac 5 seconds left,down by 2. I drive to the
middle of the lane do a behind the back pass to Jackie spotted in the corner
for a three and she drains it for the WINNNNNNNN!!!!!

I would describe my game as upbeat. I like to be involved in fast
breaks, pushing it up the floor, and also dribble drive to kick out to the
shooters.
