WHY MINNESOTA
"I chose Minnesota because from the moment I stepped on campus, I immediately felt a sense of belonging, and the team culture was exactly what I had been searching for," Sgarbossa said. "The connection I felt with the coaches made me confident that this is a place where I can continue to grow. I truly believe I can thrive both academically and athletically at Minnesota. The campus and facilities helped me picture myself there so easily. Most of all, I'm excited to be part of a program that carries a national championship mindset and pushes me to be my best everyday!"
