Q&A with Melissa: Athletic goal at U of L is to be known as part of the greatest defense around... Post college ambition is to become a physician's assistant and work in a family practice... Reasons she chose U of L is the great support and the dorms... Best moment of her career is being apart of the State Championship her senior year for indoor track... Best advice she ever received was no matter what obstacles you face in life, you can achieve anything if you just keep trying and never give up... Best thing about the city of Louisville is that there are so many places to go within walking distance... Angelina Jolie would play Melissa in a movie about her life... Advice she would give younger players is that you need to be able to set aside enough time to study and play lacrosse... Most people don't know that she hates the dark... Athlete she most admires is Misty May and Kerri Walsh... Hobbies include exploring the outdoors and camping... Pre-game rituals include wearing the same socks for every game... If she could have dinner with any three people they would be Dorris Greenberg her grandmother, Jesus, and Martin Luther King. Jr.... Biggest pet peeve is not taking turns cleaning and doing the dishes...Biggest challenge in her life is getting her mile time to 6:15... Her life story would be " It don't come easy"... Friends say she is laid back, humorous, a good listener, and put other before herself... Her role model is her mother.
