What is your most memorable moment in your playing career at Georgetown?
Winning a BIG EAST Tournament semi-final game against USF in a penalty kick shootout is one of my most memorable moments on the soccer team. The pressure and thrill of the shoot out along with the excitement after winning was an amazing feeling.

What would you like to say to a donor to The Annual Fund for Georgetown Athletics?
