Student-Athlete Voices
What it means to be a Purple Knight
“We have a really good team chemistry and culture. I think it’s really hard to find a group of people who care about you and truly want the best for you, and I just happen to have 24 girls who do that.”
“This game is so much bigger than a game. It’s about a community.”
“We are more like a family. We all support each other. We all bring confidence to the field.”
“Without each other, we can’t play. To be a family on and off the court is really our goal. Whether we know it now or we know it later, that sisterhood is going to take us far.”
