Hometown: Anoka, Minn.
Major: Chemistry
There were several reasons why I decided to come to Carleton from my family being able to watch my games, to the academics, to the sense that I wasn’t just another player to the coaching staff. The biggest reason came from the night I stayed and spent time with my eventual teammates. I felt like I was joining a family. I wasn’t joining a football team but a brotherhood of men I knew would have my back.Gabbi Stienstra '16
