Q&A with Becca Wann

Q: You scored your team-leading 10th goal in the final game against St. Bonaventure; how did that feel?

A: It was great knowing that we had just outplayed and beat a team that had beaten Dayton and Charlotte. As a team, we played one of our best games of the year. For me, knowing that I scored was secondary to the win. Knowing how well we played as a team was enough for me.

Q: When did you start playing soccer and basketball?

A: I started playing soccer at five and basketball at six.

Q: Did you always think you would continue playing both sports in college?

A: Yes. Since I was nine, people have been asking me which one I would choose when I got to college. There has never been a one or the other; it's both.

Q: What is your favorite aspect of each sport?

A:For both of the sports I love that they are team sports. There is nothing like having your teammates' back and knowing they have yours in return. But more specifically, in soccer I love winning headers and finishing, and in basketball I love fast breaks and passing.

Q: What difficulties do you anticipate in the life of a two-sport athlete?

A: The hardest thing will probably be that my season will go continuously from July to March, which is nine months. So there may come a point mid-season when I get run down physically. But that's when the team aspect comes in and my teammates will help pick me up and then I'll just keep on playing.
