The USA South Athletic Conference will once again give institutions the opportunity to spotlight student-athletes each Wednesday as a part of the Conference's #WhyD3Wednesday initiative. In its ninth year, #WhyD3Wednesday allows student-athletes to briefly explain why they chose to attend their Division III institution as well as share some of their favorite things in life. To view this week's submission, please see below and make sure to follow the hashtag #WhyD3Wednesday on the USA South's X (@usa_south) and Instagram (@usa_south) social media platforms throughout the year as League student-athletes share their stories.

"As a transfer student-athlete, I was looking for a school that was closer to home for me. Greensboro had everything I was looking for...a variety of sports and exercise science majors along with a great internship program. I wanted somewhere that was going to push me academically but also have a fun and competitive volleyball program which is exactly what I found in Greensboro."
