Q&A with Brittany: Athletic goal at U of L is to win a Big East and National Championship... Post-college ambition is to be a sports broadcaster on ESPN, get married and have children, and serve God... Two reasons she chose U of L is the amount of support that the University and the community gives to their athletes and because it felt like home... Best advice she has ever received is that even if she is not OK, it is OK, because God loves her anyway... She would pick Rachel McAdams to play her in a movie about her life... Most prized possessions are her bible and cell phone... After her career at U of L is over, she would like to be remembered as a light for God on and off the field... Advice she would give a young player is to never let anyone change who you are, be yourself on and off the field... Something about her that most people don't know is she loves to sing and would one day like to lead worship at her church... Her role model is her Dad.
