On Deck With McLean:
Why I chose Ferris State: Because of the academic curriculum, it's a beautiful campus and to play some ball
The motto I live by: if God bring you to it, he will see you through it
My role model is: My grandma Nowak because she lived such a great life, thinking of her family first and living her life devoted to God
My friends tell me I'm: a good listener and a best friend
Something unusual about me is that: when I smile, I only have one dimple on the left side of my face
My pregame ritual is: just to get my head ready for the game
If I could change one thing about softball: Have the season in late summer and early fall. It's cold in the spring!
My advice to youngsters is: you can accomplish anything if you put your mind to it
When I step on the field I think: of what I have to do to contribute
What has been the most thrilling sports moment of your life?: Hitting the first home run of my college career in Florida
The thing I like most about Ferris State Softball: The awesome bond that my teammates and I have
