Why she chose Arkansas: “I chose Arkansas because I wanted to compete at an elite level with elite athletes. I know the coaching staff and team will hold me accountable and not only make me a better soccer player but a quality human being. Also, the Razorback Family is definitely something you want to be a part of.”

Hale on Spain: “T’s zoom was one of the most unique recruiting zooms I have ever been a part of. She is an elite athlete but what drew us to her is her hunger to grow and to make sure I was growing too. She stands for what we want to be about.”
