I didn鈥檛 know if I wanted to pursue athletics in college. I visited bigger schools and felt small. DIII has been the best fit for me鈥擨 could keep my academic and career aspirations at the front while continuing to compete at an athletically high level.

Athletics Facilities
Division III has been a good fit for me because it has allowed me to have so many great opportunities. I can play the most competitive basketball I have ever played while receiving a fantastic education.
