20 Questions With UNCP Sophomore Goalkeeper Britney Bennett

The Team I Would Add To Our Schedule: I would add Florida State University to our schedule because I am from Florida, it is a very high-level team and I know a few athletes that play soccer on their team.

Other UNCP Teams You Watch Play: The men's soccer team, the volleyball team and of course the softball team. Oh, and if I can get to the golf course, I love watching a good round of golf!

Favorite Pro Sports Teams: Even though the team struggles to get wins, I will stick to my Tampa Bay Buccaneers for professional football. I'm not a big basketball fan, so I do not have a favorite in that sport.

I Can Do This One Thing Almost Better Than Anyone: I'm a pretty good yo-yo'er and I think I am better than most people!

Least Favorite Conditioning Drill: I think keeper conditioning drills are the worst. Throwing your body on the ground then getting right back up and doing it all over again kills me.

Best Sit-Down Restaurant: My favorite restaurant is definitely Carrabba's!
