BUFFALO, NY - Get to know Jackie Hall, senior captain of the UB women's soccer team.
Why did you choose UB?
JH: "I chose UB mostly because of the soccer program. When I came for a visit everyone was so nice to me and I felt that it was a place that I could fit in well. A place that I also get to wake up and do my favorite thing every day, play soccer. Academically I came here because it was one of the few schools that offered photography as a major."
What is your favorite part of being an UB student-athlete?
JH: "My favorite part of being an UB student-athlete is meeting all the people I have met here.

Being a student-athlete has also taught me so much about being accountable and responsible and has really prepared me for my future."

Who is your biggest role model and why?
JH: "My biggest role model is my father. He is the hardest working and most well-rounded person that I know and he always pushes me to be my best.

I can only strive to be half the person he is one day."
