Every Monday, the Saint Joseph's women's lacrosse program will highlight one member of its 2014-15 squad. Leading us into our fifth week will be Maura Monti, a sophomore midfielder out of Upperco, Maryland!
1. Why did you choose Saint Joseph's?
The overall atmosphere, the distance from home is perfect, and the campus.
2. What is your favorite thing about Hawk Hill?
The campus during the fall is so beautiful.
3. What is your favorite place on Hawk Hill?
The little courtyard inside of Barbelin; I love sitting on the benches in between classes.
4. What is the best course you've taken or are currently taking at Saint Joseph's?
Social Problems with Dr. Hill-Yates. It really makes you think about the problems our society has had and is currently still going through.
5. What is your major at Saint Joseph's? Dream job?
Communications. Working for MLB/NFL/ESPN; I love interacting with people, and I've grown up surrounded by sports, so being able to work in something I know a lot about and incorporate it with something I'm interested in would be amazing.
6. Do you have any pregame rituals?
Blasting music as loud as possible in the locker room. Everyone just goes crazy.
7. What is your favorite thing to do while not playing lacrosse?
Watching movies and TV shows and, if I'm being honest here, eating!
8. What is your favorite lacrosse memory?
Winning at Stetson last season; everyone was just out of their minds. It was such a great win and being in Florida wasn't so bad either.
9. Do you have any hidden talents?
I can stand on my head and spin.
10. Who is your favorite professional team and athlete?
Baltimore Ravens and Ray Lewis.
11. Who is your favorite musical artist?
I go through phases of different artists. Right now I would have to go with The 1975.
12. If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
Hard question! Probably either mind-reading or teleporting! Mind-reading just to know what people are thinking would be interesting. Teleporting so you could see whoever you wanted and save a lot of money on traveling!
13. What is your favorite food? Favorite restaurant?
Just carbs in general are amazing... And a place in Baltimore called Bella Note.
14. If you were stranded on an island, what three things would you bring with you?
1. My best friend. I would go crazy if I was by myself or anyone else.
2. Really big sweatshirt. It can act as a blanket and/or pillow and can block the sun – three in one!!
3. Laptop with unlimited battery and Wi-Fi. Need to have movies and Google to survive.
15. If you could have dinner with three people, past or present, who would they be?
1. Beyonce. She's the queen of the world.
2. Jason Bateman. I just really, really love him. So funny and underrated.
3. Heath Ledger. My favorite actor and was such an interesting person.
16. Who is your hero?
My parents and grandparents.
