Fun Facts About Ally

Go-to pre-game meal?
A vanilla yogurt with granola and berries, and something with electrolytes in it to drink to keep me hydrated!

Can you describe the feelings you felt during the Olympic Qualifiers when you realized Team USA was headed to Paris?
It’s so hard to describe! The last two to three seconds of the game, in my mind, I kept telling myself “this is not real, this is not real”. Of course you come on to the team and realize this is a dream you’ve had for a long time so to get to that moment, I just kept telling myself “this is not happening!” As soon as the buzzer went off there were just feelings of joy and pure excitement!
