WHY ILLINOIS? 

"I chose the University of Illinois for many reasons. First and foremost, I was very impressed with Coach Small and Coach Bardgett; Coach Small has built an incredible tradition and history of excellence that permeates throughout the program. The resources and facilities - like the Demirjian Indoor and Lauritsen/Wohlers Outdoor Practice Facilities - are second to none. It all fits within a vibrant and beautiful campus and community.
