“I am so excited to announce that I have verbally committed to the Unversity of Missouri-Kansas City!  Thank you God for allowing me to meet amazing coaches who worked with me day in and day out.  Thank you to my wonderful family who has done literally everything for me to have this opportunity.  Thank you to my teammates for always pushing me to be my best.  Thank you to every parent or friend that has taken me to any game or practice.  I appreciate you all so much.  Also, I would like to say thank you to coach Jacie and the Roo family for believing in me and allowing me to be a part of such a great program.  Now it’s time to grind!”
