What is your favorite thing so far about this 2010 Team?
We’re awesome people. And when you get to play the game you love with awesome people, it doesn’t get any better than that.

What was your all-time favorite win as a QU Lady Hawk?
I think that would be the 2008 NCAA win in penalty kicks. I was a freshman. I didn’t really understand how big that was, but by looking at all of my teammates, I knew I just wanted to jump up and down and hug someone.

What was your favorite on the field moment as a QU Lady Hawk?
Any time 2010 graduate Jenna Boyko decided to do a victory dance after a goal. Why do you think I wanted her to score so much?

What is your favorite pregame activity?
Well there are many secret activities that I can’t share with anyone outside of the locker room, but the most obvious choice would be the pregame dance parties. I promise you no one can quite break it down like the QU Lady Hawks.

What is your favorite food?
Good old spaghetti and meatballs. A nice way to “carb up” before a big game.

What is your favorite sports team?
I’m brave enough to say the Chicago Cubbies. Go Cubs Go. I pray every year that my Nana gets to see a winning season.

Who is your favorite athlete?
Me. I have to be. If you’re not your own biggest fan, who will be?

What is your favorite song on your IPod?
Crash Into Me – Dave Matthews Band. Get to know it. It’s my jam.

What is the funniest moment so far this season?
Is this a real question? This team is literally funny every second of every minute we’re together. Some might even say we’re………hilarious.

What game are you most pumped for this season?
THE NEXT ONE

High School: Incarnate Word

Position: Goalkeeper

Year: Freshman

Club: St. Louis Scott Gallagher


What is your favorite thing so far about this 2010 Team?
My favorite thing so far about this 2010 Lady Hawk Team is definitely the team chemistry. I feel like I've been playing with this team for years.

What is one of your personal goals as you enter college soccer?
One of my personal goals I've set for collegiate soccer is to keep moving and looking forward after each game. Each mistake is a lesson learned and I'm striving to improve myself every game.

What is your favorite pregame activity?
One word - DANCING!!! I absolutely love dancing and getting pumped up in the locker room right before game time. Once the song 'Gold Dust' comes on, it's time to bust out the moves!

Who has been a leader for you so far with this Lady Hawk Team?
Tori Champagne. She has been so welcoming to me and made my transition to Quincy so much easier. She has been a leader to me not only on the field, but off as well. I really look up to her as a person and feel like she's always there for me and will be no matter what. Overall, everyone has been a great leader and showed me the ropes and some point in time; whether it was saying "fitness center" and not "physical center", or to keep my head high after a loss.

What is your Nickname?
Jodaich! (Jo-Day-Shhh) Even though most people don't call me it because it's longer than my real name, it still floats around. Some people call me Jodith as a nickname because I tricked them into thinking that was my real birth name.

What is your favorite food?
My favorite real food would have to be spaghetti with marinara sauce. My favorite junk food would be ice cream.

Who is your favorite sports team?
BLUES!! I love watching hockey and going to the Blues games. Even if you have the worst seats in the center, it is still a blast.

Who is your favorite athlete?
To be honest, I really don't have an overall favorite athlete. For each sport it would vary. My favorite hockey player would be Sidney Crosby, and my favorite soccer player would be Hope Solo.

What is your favorite song on your IPod?
She Wolf - Shakira (hahahahaha all time favorite)
