Hi Aggies,
My name is Stephanie Ziegler and I am redshirt sophomore this year. Through these last couple of years here at New Mexico State, I have had to overcome some difficulties. Early last season I broke my leg in a preseason tournament. That injury left me confused and sometimes even angry that it had occurred. I had never really been injured before so the world of rehab and physical therapy was extremely new. But watching from the bench last season and realizing that I was not going to be able to contribute made me even more determined to work hard to come back this season. As for this year, my goal was and still is, to help in any way I can for this team. Coming back to school in July I felt strong and ready to compete. I knew that the competition for a starting position was not going to be easy, so earning the starting role on the pin was awesome. It made all of the physical therapy and rehab worth it. Throughout this whole experience I have grown so much, but I have also learned the true meaning of a team. Without my team's support, or the staff that we have here at NMSU, I would not have been ready to come back. They have been with me from the beginning. #15 Stephanie Ziegler
