HC: Being a captain, what do you do to motivate your team?
AL: “I try really hard to lead by example and encourage my teammates to give 110 percent all the time. I also try to be someone they look up to and feel comfortable talking to on and off the court.”

AL: “Time management is key, especially in college. Sometimes it is difficult balancing everything, but I try to focus on getting my schoolwork done first and foremost.”

AL: “Get involved on campus as much as you can. Saint Vincent is a small school and you will make the most of your college experience by getting involved with various activities.”
HC: What is your favorite part about being a student at SVC?
AL: “I really love the small campus setting and being able to see a familiar face everywhere I go.”
HC: What is your favorite memory thus far at Saint Vincent?
AL: “Definitely the Campus Ministry Service Trip to Brazil that I went on last Spring Break. The experience was so rewarding being able to work with kids and families from a different lifestyle and culture than what I have previously have known. They taught me more than I could ever imagine teaching them.”
HC: If you could trade places with anyone for a day, who would it be and why?
AL: “Definitely, 100 percent Taylor Swift. I think she is extremely genuine and I think it would be cool to live the lifestyle of a celebrity for a day.”

AL: “I can rap almost the entire Pink Friday and Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded album by Nicki Minaj.”
