What makes you the person you are today? My parents - they raised me to have good morals and to stay true to myself. They always comfort me but also tell me how it is so I can fix my mistakes. My grandma is also a big influence on me. She's always there for me and knows what's best. I can talk to her about anything.
Coach Grisham's comments: Ryan is a wonderful asset to our team. She has shown tremendous development in her two years as a Wildcat. She is a player that can balance a good sense of humor with a great work ethic and in turn has become someone her teammates respect. We are excited to see how she will continue to develop as a Goal Keeper for us over the next two years.
