Athlete Q and A: Women's Soccer: Becca Woods

1. Why did you choose to come to SPU?
I chose to come to SPU to join an excellent soccer program that would help pay for a great Christian education. Soccer is what brought me to look at the school but the Christian aspect is what ultimately helped me decide along with the fact that its the perfect distance.
2. What does it mean to be a student athlete here at SPU?
Being a student athlete means we have a bit more responsibility than the average SPU student. Not only is it a huge time commitment but we have to keep our grades at a high level as well as being a respectable player on and off the field. In competitions against other schools in the area, our actions reflect back to SPU.
3. What is your favorite moment at SPU (on the court and off)?
My favorite moment at SPU was winning the national championship in 2008. Off the field would probably be doing team activities, such as board game night.

Becca Woods is a junior defender for the Women's Soccer Team (National Champs 2008). She is and accounting major from Beaverton, OR.

What its like to be a student at Seattle Pacific University

Seattle Pacific University is not just some ordinary four year university. It obtains a certain charm and atmosphere that attracts students from all over the United States. Its core Christian values are at the center of the curriculum and student life. At large universities, students go undetected and are lost in the sea of faces in class sizes of over five hundred. At this place, it personal. Small class sizes promote a more active learning environment where students can learn and get the attention we deserve. We have potential that is recognized and nurtured here at Seattle Pacific. Teachers take pride in helping each student that needs it and that is willing to learn. We are the future, so they instill in us knowledge, wisdom, and character to make us responsible Christian men and women.
