WDT: During your recruiting visit to Clarkson in 2006, you were in coach George Roll's office watching the Winter Olympics. Erik Cole scored a goal and the TV announcer said, "That's Erik Cole, a Clarkson product." What do you remember about that and did it have any influence on your choice?

Beca: I do remember that. I knew Erik Cole played at Clarkson before my visit, so it was pretty cool seeing him score while I was visiting for my first time. It wasn't too big of a factor in my decision, but it was pretty cool to hear the announcers talking about Clarkson while I was on my visit.
