WHY MINNESOTA?
“Growing up I always dreamed of playing for the Gophers and representing my home state. I chose the University of Minnesota because I loved the campus and the educational opportunities the University provides. The coaches and players demonstrate a strong, competitive, and family-like atmosphere. They made me feel welcomed and right at home.”
