For The Memores by Berit Puggaard
"Yes, I did have four extraordinary years with all of the NCAA and U.S. Open titles, but those accomplishments were bits and pieces of the total experience. The memories with teammates, classmates, teachers, and coaches are what I think about when reminiscing on my time at SMU." - Berit Puggaard
