Why Rutgers? "The coaches were able to put together a very successful program at Bryant and I feel like they will continue that at Rutgers. Coming from a smaller school, I wanted to get a different experience at a bigger school. On top of being a competitive team in a Power 5 conference, they offer a graduate school program that is perfect for me."
