On Deck With Roney:
Why I chose Ferris State: I liked the school and
wanted to play college softball
The motto I live by: Whatever happens, happens for
a reason
What has been the most thrilling moment of your life
outside of sports?: Coming to college and living on my
own
Something unusual about me is that: I'm both a
dancer and a softball player - the two are complete opposite
The thing I like most about Ferris State Softball:
The team
My worst fear is: spiders
My favorite movie is: The Hot Chick
My favorite music group is: Don't have one as I
like all music
My pre-game ritual is: listening to music
My role model is: my sister
If I could change one thing about softball, I
would: make the games longer
Advice to youngsters: The more you practice the
better off you will be later. But make sure you practice well
If I could meet anyone in history it would be:
Michael Jordan
