695: How did you decide on Central Connecticut State?
Brianna: Well the first thing I really liked was the campus. I was aiming for a smaller college and CCSU was perfect. Most importantly though, I really loved the program and the coaching staff. I got to meet with the athletic director also and he told me a lot of great things about the school. I love how they're all about creating a strong team full of players with not only great character but hard work ethics as well and they believe that with those things and a strong team bond they will reach their goal of getting a championship. I just loved what they were about and I really wanted to be apart of that. Not to mention, I got a chance to walk around with a few of the players and we immediately connected. That's how I knew Central Connecticut was the right school. It feels like home.
