As a NARP, my varsity athlete suitemates are constantly complaining about their lack of time to eat, sleep, study or do basically anything. But here is a gal that manages to do both all year-round. Meet one of the only two-sport athletes at Stonehill, Taylor the legend Shannahan. While making an impact in both her freshman year seasons, she managed to pick up the title of NE-10 All-Rookie team in soccer and made the NE-10 Commissioner’s Honor Roll both semesters. So lets meet the superwoman herself…..
