In three seasons in net, Kallie has helped deliver three straight NWC titles and will be going for a fourth in 2009. The biology major excels in the classroom as well. "My favorite class at UPS has been Evolution and Diversity of Life with Peter Hodum. That was the class that helped me decide to major in biology."
