The Lion’s Roar: What are some things you enjoy doing in your free time?  

Maddie Kresevic: I like to watch Netflix and relax since we don’t get much free time as student athletes. Between meetings, practice, games and classes, we’re kept pretty busy.

TLR: What is it like being a member of the soccer team? How does it feel?  

MK: It’s really a great thing. You meet a lot of new people, and it’s like being in a second family. It feels that way because I’m from Ohio, and my teammates are like a second family from Louisiana.  

TLR: What are some goals of the soccer team this season?

MK: Collectively and as a group, the goal is to win the conference and make it to the tournament.  

TLR: Now what are some goals for you personally when you will be on the field this season?

MK: My goal is to prevent as many shut outs as possible and help my team towards the common goal.

TLR: What do you miss most about home?

MK: I mostly miss my mom’s home cooked meals, and I really miss the season of Fall.  

TLR: While you are playing on the soccer field, what do you think about? What is your motivation?

MK: I’m mostly motivated by my teammates and by us being supportive of one another. In the back of my head, I’m thinking of our goal, and trying to get there.
