A Q&A article with a UNCW student-athlete
Name: Stephanie Rose
Sport: Women's Soccer
Class Standing: Freshman
Intended field of study: Nursing
Hometown: Jacksonville, NC
Q: What was the most exciting activity/event you did this past summer?
A: My club team, Coastal Crew 90, went to Texas for Regionals for a second year. We played this really good team, ESC Black, and we tied them, which was a big deal. Even though we lost later on, it was still a lot of fun and a great experience.
Q: What was your favorite cartoon growing up?
A: Rocket Power (on Nickelodeon)
Q: If you had a million dollars what would be your first purchase?
A: I'd buy a ticket to go to Ireland. I've always wanted to go there.
Q: What's your dream car?
A: A black Porsche with black leather interior. It would also have shiny 20 inch rims with a red trim
Q: What's one of your favorite songs?
A: "Fat lip" by Sum 41
Q: What's the first word that comes to mind when you think of being mentioned in Sports Illustrated?
A: Famous. It's funny because my Mom sent me an e-mail with a link to the article, and I kind of blew it off at first not realizing what it was. But it was cool, and everyone from my hometown was really nice about it too.
Q: Where do you hope to see yourself 5-10 years from now?
A: I hope to one day play on the U.S. Olympic soccer team. But if not then I hope to settle down with a family and a good job.
Q: What's your all-time favorite food?
A: Zebra Cakes
Q: Who do you look to as a role model for inspiration?
A: Mia Hamm was a role model for me on the soccer field growing up. But she hasn't been playing for awhile now. I'd have to say off the field I looked at my sports medicine teacher in high school, Mr. Mueller, as a role model. He was a great father, respectful, polite, and just an overall really good person.
