Off the Field with Derya Kelter
Why did you choose the University of Wisconsin?: The better question is, why would I NOT choose the University of Wisconsin.
What does it mean to be a Badger?: Honestly, this is hard to put it words. There have been songs written about it, there have been books written about, and there have been t-shirts printed about it. But when it comes down to it: only a Badger knows what it's really like to be a Badger. And once you go Badger, you never go back.

Is there something significant about your uniform number?: It's actually kind of a funny story, when I was younger I wanted to just number 1, but that's a goalies number, so the only thing better than one 1, is two ones... So I chose 11. I kind of look at it as being first place twice ;)

My favorite quote or motto is: It is good to be the fastest. If you are not the fastest, be the strongest. If you are not the strongest, be the smartest. If you are not the fastest, the strongest, the smartest, cope by being stronger, faster, smarter, than the weak, slow, stupid. The world does not care for problems you have, only how you react in the face of competition. - Anonymous
