Niagara University Athletics

Why Niagara?
"I saw Niagara as a great choice to further both my academic and athletic career. I was very familiar with the campus and area due to my sister, Andrea, already being at the university. I thought the size of the school was perfect for me. I just thought that Niagara was the perfect fit for me from the second I walked on campus."
