1. Growing up playing lacrosse, I always pretended to be …
Fearless because I started playing when I was a senior in high school and didn’t know a lot about it, so I went in not thinking much about it.

Sportscenter

We have dance-offs in the locker room before every game.
6. What is your most embarrassing moment on the field?
In a game my sophomore year, I had to jump over a ref who had fallen down.
7. If a movie was made about your life, what would the title be and who would play you?
It would be titled “21,” because my friend wrote a story about my life last year for a class and it was pretty interesting. Blake Lively would play me. I like her and she’s athletic.
8. What artist takes up most of your iPod/music player?
The Fray
9. When you were little, who was your favorite cartoon character?
The Rugrats

Talking too much
15. What is your favorite memory with your Irish teammates?
Going to the Final Four my freshman year.
16. Other than the Irish, what is your favorite sports team?
The Baltimore Ravens, because I’m from Baltimore and I know some of them myself.
17. If you could have dinner with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be and why?
I would choose my great-grandmother, because she died three days before I was born. I always hear so much about her. She was like a mom to my mom so I think we would have been really close.
18. Where is your favorite place at Notre Dame?
My favorite place is Stonehenge fountain because I think that area is the prettiest place on campus.
19. Which has been the biggest game of your career?
I would say the Northwestern game last year. Even though we lost, I played pretty consistently and was able to bring the team up even though everyone was playing poorly.
20. What does being part of the Fighting Irish mean to you?
I would say tradition. I’m not Irish, and no one in my family is Irish, but it means a lot to come here with the prestige and everything it stands for.
