Why I chose Cal: "I chose to attend Cal in order to push myself to be the best I can possibly be both in the classroom and on the softball field. Cal is one of the most prestigious schools in the nation and therefore, as a member of the Cal family, I will be setting myself up for a successful and brighter future, while competing to be an NCAA champion under Coach Ninemire. This is what I live for, and I could never ask for a better opportunity!"
