Why did you choose UAlbany?

Coming from Germany where it is difficult to study and still play field hockey, the USA offered a great opportunity to do both. I liked UAlbany because of the level of the field hockey team and its academic options. I also like the location - not too far from home and close to NYC.
 

Sykes on Prada

Mathilda will be our fourth player from Hamburg, Germany. She comes to UAlbany from UHC, which has a rich history in our world hockey success. She is a strong player with a very strong skillset and what I like best about her play is her composure under difficult situations.
