UnionAthletics.com: Entering your senior season, you'll be serving as a captain. What does that mean to you and how best do you think you can serve the team in that role?

UnionAthletics.com: What has been your favorite Union sports moment so far?
Meg Clark: My favorite moment so far would have to be when we hosted the Liberty League tournament last year. From day one of last season, our goal was to win the league and host the tournament. It was amazing to have such a competitive and exciting tournament on our own court.
UnionAthletics.com: What's next after college?
Meg Clark: I plan to continue my education after Union in speech-pathology.
UnionAthletics.com: What's your favorite team community service activity?

We're given a wish list from the family, and as a team we are able to purchase the items on the list and allow the family to experience a memorable Christmas.

UnionAthletics.com: If you could go back to your freshmen year, what advice would you give yourself?
Meg Clark: As a freshmen I definitely did not fully take advantage of all the opportunities Union has to offer. As a junior I started writing for the school newspaper, which I really enjoy. So If I could go back and offer myself some advice, it would be to get involved in activities like the school newspaper sooner.
