Why Santa Clara? It was definitely the most beautiful campus I saw on my college trips. The feeling I got when I went on my first tour was 'Wow! I could definitely see myself living and playing here!' I knew from that point that Santa Clara was my first choice. Once I got to the know the coaches, I became even more excited about becoming a Bronco!
