Her academic excellence is evident from her being a five-time Dean’s Scholar at Louisville, a two-time NFHCA Division I National Academic Squad Member, and earning a place on the ACC Academic Honor Roll in her first two seasons.

In conclusion, the University of Louisville can be proud of its exceptional student-athletes, who have not only demonstrated remarkable performance on the field but also remarkable academic achievements. The ACC Field Hockey Scholar Athlete of the Year and the 18 student-athletes on the All-ACC Field Hockey Academic Team are a testament to the University’s commitment to academic and athletic excellence.
