A: I’m very appreciative that both my male and female teammates felt I deserved this recognition. It’s exciting that we even get to have this award this year. I hope I can keep it up and be a contender for it again next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Q: What was your favorite moment playing women’s no-sting this season?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A: Although I loved getting the opportunity to play at women’s nationals, I had the most fun playing no-sting on our home courts during practice. I’m glad we decided to record a few no-sting practices against the guys, and there were a lot of great moments. One of my favorites are when Ian acted as a human shield for our club President, Daniel, and my ball was still able to get Daniel in the foot. Another good play was when I caught a ball at my hip at close range while holding two balls in my hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q: What is your proudest achievement this season?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A: My proudest achievement has got to be playing on an official women’s team. I really thought it wouldn’t happen until after I graduated, but I was hoping I could help lay the foundation before I left. Turns out, it was a pretty strong foundation and now we have a team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q: What goals do you have for recruiting new players next season?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A: I would really like to have a B team so that we can practice playing other girls, but also so we can dominate against other B teams in the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q: What personal goals are you setting for yourself for the upcoming season?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A: There is always room for improvement in every aspect of the game. I want to be a strong player on both courts. Mostly, I want to throw far fewer catches. My goal is to become a player that others look up to and want to learn from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/files\/2025\/05\/Womens-Baller-of-the-Year-865x1024.jpg\")
