Senior Spotlight: Adrian Casey, Penn State Mont Alto
Welcome to our Senior Spotlight series. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the PSUAC had to cancel its fall and winter sport seasons. This prevented several student-athletes from receiving a proper senior day and minimized opportunities for Player of the Week awards. In its place, we will highlight seniors from around the conference throughout the remainder of the semester.

How do you hope to be remembered by teammates and coaches? I hope they remember me as the teammate that would push everyone to be the best player possible.
What is your favorite memory from playing your sport at Penn State? My favorite memory was becoming Captain my freshman and sophomore year.
What is the best advice you ever received from a coach or teammate that you would share with other student-athletes? It is not about how you start a game it is about how you end it.
What are you most looking forward to post graduation? Or in your transition to University Park (or other campus) to finish your degree? I look forward to a world of opportunities and handling whatever life throws my way.
What are some of the tools or skills that you learned through all the years of playing your sport that you plan to instill once you enter the workforce? Time management, it wasn't always easy playing soccer and keeping up with school work and clubs.
What impact did athletics have on your experience as a college student? What is your favorite memory outside of athletics during your time as a student-athlete? It improved and made my college experience so much better. My favorite memory would be team pick up games and getting dinner afterwards.
Please use this space to thank anyone you wish to acknowledge for their support during your academic and athletic career. I'd like to thank my mother and father for always having my back and supporting me through all the struggle.
