“And now for you starting lineup: A junior from Wynnewood Pennsylvania, number 12 Alessandra Patrizio!” *and the crowd goes wild*
Her Campus was honored to have another chance to talk with Al Patrizio, after she was interviewed as a Campus Cutie last year. Now she is back again as a Campus Celebrity! This student-athlete earned Liberty League offensive Player of the Week multiple weeks in a row and even led the NATION in goals for Women’s Field Hockey during the 2015 season.
