WHY FLORENTINE CHOSE SANTA CLARA: “From the start of high school I was always aware of Santa Clara. I always wanted to play for this school when I graduated from high school. However, I got the chance to play at Edmonds CC first, proving to myself that I can play at the next level. Once I found out that Santa Clara was interested in me I thought it was a dream come true. The ability to play for this school was an opportunity of a lifetime. The fact that I was able to get a scholarship offer made my decision even easier. I couldn’t be happier with the decision I made to play at Santa Clara University.”
