Cruz on Nebraska
“I really loved all the soccer coaching staff and all the other staff I met. It really felt like it was a family environment and made me feel like I was a part of the family. I really felt that they will help me succeed and accomplish all my dreams and goals. I felt that this could be home for the next few years. I loved Hibner Stadium and Memorial Stadium. All the facilities were awesome. I really loved everything about the University of Nebraska.”
