Annika Dries Season 2010

Favorite Stanford Memory: "Our Senior Day game last year we played USC and beat them in overtime. It was such an exciting and dramatic game. But, what was even more fun was the team dinner we had afterwards. Although we formally recognized the seniors at the game, at the end of the dinner, we serenaded them with a revised chorus of 'Can't Take my Eyes Off of You' and a funny rap. Everyone was in tears by the end from laughing so hard."
