Wednesday October 2, 2002

Year: Redshirt freshman

Major: Physiological science

Highlight: Nelson scored five goals in the Wildcats' 10-0 win over Belmont on Saturday, which tied a school record. She added another goal on Sunday in a 2-1 loss to Kentucky, giving her a total of six goals in two days. She now is the team's leading goal scorer with seven.


Wildcat: What was it like to score five goals in one game?

Nelson: It was awfully, awfully exciting. There are no real words to describe it because it was so exhilarating.

Wildcat: Is this a story you will be telling your kids in 20 years?

Nelson: Definitely, definitely. I did it once or twice in high school, but I would never think of doing it at the collegiate level.

Wildcat: How are you going to exaggerate that one?

Nelson: I don't know, I guess I could exaggerate dribbling by the keeper three times.

Wildcat: What's your favorite TV show?

Nelson: Real World.

Wildcat: Who's your favorite Real World member?

Nelson: Cari from Chicago. She was kind of cute and sweet, but she had her moments of feistiness. She reminds me of my sister too.

Wildcat: What's your favorite band/artist?

Nelson: Faith Hill. I'm a huge Faith Hill fan. Her and Celine Dion, it's kind of a tie.

Wildcat: What's the best sports movie ever?

Nelson: "Remember the Titans."

Wildcat: What's your favorite thing to do when you are not playing soccer?

Nelson: Spending time with my boyfriend and my friends.

Wildcats: Who do you think will win the World Series?

Nelson: I don't really follow baseball, but I'll go with the Diamondbacks to win it again. Why not?

Wildcat: Name one thing you are afraid of.

Nelson: Drowning.

Wildcat: Are you not a good swimmer?

Nelson: I'm OK but I don't like playing those games in the water where you might go under and not come back up.

Wildcat: If you were stranded on an island, name three people you'd want with you.

Nelson: My boyfriend, my best friend and my younger brother.

Wildcat: What's your favorite thing about UA?

Nelson: The athletic community.

Wildcat: Word association: soccer

Nelson: Goal.

Wildcat: Wildcat.

Nelson: (makes a growling sound)

Wildcat: How do you spell that?

Nelson: I don't know, G. R. R. R. R. R.

Wildcat: Number 19.

Nelson: My birthday.

Wildcat: Coach Klein.

Nelson: Enthusiastic.
