Freshman Allie Beahan of the women's soccer team had a great first year at UW on the field and sat down with www.gohuskies.com for a Q&A to talk about fall quarter, winter break and winter training.

GoHuskies.com: Now that you have a full quarter of classes and a season of soccer under your belt, how are you feeling?

Allie Beahan: "I have adjusted to the college environment and have learned to manage my time wisely and to make sure I get a good night's rest! I am excited for next season and have high hopes for the incoming freshmen class!"

GH: What did you do over winter break? (Did you celebrate with your family, etc.?)

AB: "Over winter break I spent time with family and friends. I got to go snowmobiling for the first time with a few friends. I also went skeet shooting for the first time and ended up hitting 6 out of 25 (my shoulder was sore the next day!) My family met up with Molly (Boyd) and her family to watch the Christmas ships on Lake Washington!"

GH: What did you do for New Year's? Do you have any New Year's resolutions?

AB: "I hung out with a few friends and played Halo! I didn't make any New Year's resolutions this year!"

GH: What is winter training like? What are you personally and the team working on? How is it different then fall training?

AB: "Winter training is not only physically challenging but it also tests your mental toughness. As a team, our goal is to improve on something each day. We do so by pushing ourselves to do better and challenge our teammates to do the same."

GH: What classes are you taking this quarter?

AB: "I am taking Physics 110, Math 120 and Psychology 101."

GH: What winter/spring sport are you most looking forward to watching at UW now that soccer is over?

AB: "I am looking forward to watching softball because my roommate Victoria (Hayward) will be playing!!"

GH: If you could trade spots with any UW athlete from another team for one day, who would you pick and why?

AB: "I would want to try volleyball because when I went to their games it looked like a lot of fun!!"
