Halmy chose Texas A&M because “I fell in love with the team from the start. The girls are so encouraging, supportive, and are basically my second family. The coaches are by far the best in the country, for they are educated in the sport and are dedicated to their athletes. The campus is also super pretty, and the mascot is a dog, so it was not too hard of a decision to attend this school.”
