- "I made Virginia Wesleyan my top choice because I love the South. I always wanted to be close to the beach. I wanted to be kind of far away from home, but not too far. Five hours will be a good distance. VWC has an awesome biology. And, I get the opportunity to play soccer!"
- Selected Virginia Wesleyan over Ursinus College, Slippery Rock University and the University of Pittsburgh
