Comments from Elisabeth Braathen
After visiting New Orleans, I instantly fell in love with the city and the campus. Everyone was incredibly welcoming and kind. Maru, (Assistant Coach) Keri (Wong), and the team were all so genuine and made me feel like I could truly belong. I see Tulane as the perfect place to grow both as a player and as a person, and I'm excited to be part of this incredible community.
