“Originally I was going to Blackburn,” Stahl said. “When I started going and visiting other colleges, Greenville just had everything I needed. I love the players, I love the coaches and the atmosphere. It’s a great college and I’m totally devoted to that team aspect and that’s they focus on is the team. There’s not just one person.”

Stahl said although she is excited to move forward in her academic and athletic career, she will always appreciate the bonds built with her teammates and coaches.

“I couldn’t wait for high school to end but I never wanted the season to end,” she said. “It’s so much fun, everyone loves each other.”
