Getting to know Brianne Bozzella:

Any pre-game or pre-practice rituals or routines? Superstitions?
I always wear the same spandex shorts under my uniform for games (don’t worry, I wash them.) And we got to have a good warm-up CD.

Most memorable moment.
College – Beating Merrimack in the NE-10 playoffs last season. High School – My senior year of basketball - state tournament run; playing in the North Finals @ Tsongas Arena.

Specific academic goals or career choices in mind?
My career goal is to become a Strength & Conditioning Trainer; maybe a Physical Therapist later on.

Describe a moment or obstacle you have had to overcome. What did you learn from that experience?
Injuring my IT Band right before heading off to preseason. I learned that I need to be a little more aware of how hard I’m training during the off-season because I can obviously hurt myself by doing too much!

Who is the most influential person/people in your life?
My mom and dad. They’ve always been there to support me in everything I do.
