Spotlight: Athlete of the Week

Daily Vanguard: Why did you come to Portland State? 
Nichole Latham: When I came on my visit I really liked the area and it was different. I’m from southern California, so it was a lot different and not as dry. 

DV: Favorite place to eat around campus?
NL: Oh gosh…Chipotle.

DV: Favorite thing to do around Portland?
NL: The Saturday Market is always fun during our offseason. 

DV: You have a 0.58 earned run average so far in conference [in 24 innings]. How have you prepared yourself to be as good as you have been so far? 
NL: I think it was just going in there and having confidence in myself and our team, knowing that we’re just going to get it done and just having that drive.

DV: What do you think the rest of the season is going to look like for you, and what are you looking forward to? 
NL: I’m definitely looking forward to winning our division or the conference and playing the Coastal Division, because they have the teams we battled out with last year. And it will be nice to beat them again, too.
