Tuohy in an on campus interview on why she chose NC State'
"Being a top recruit in my high school in New York state, I had the opportunity to visit pretty much any university I wanted. I was looking for one that was a total package: good
academics, a good team, a campus I liked, a coach I was comfortable with, etc.
When I visited NC State, my high school rival and now best friend and teammate, Kelsey
Chmiel, hosted me. In the small amount of time I spent on campus during my
visit, I quickly felt comfortable with the team and really liked what the
program was about, where it was heading and what I thought I could bring to it
— and vice versa.
Every university I visited had all the bells and whistles, but NC State had something that no
other university had: a family atmosphere that seemed to be unmatched by any
other institution."
