This week Moose Terry sat down and talked with the women�s soccer senior captain, Jessica Greenberg. The psychology major and four-year Oberlin College athlete discussed many realms of her life as an Obie student-athlete, ranging from soccer to teaching Spanish and eating delicious ice cream.

Moose Terry: How long have you played soccer and why do you love it so much?

Jess Greenberg: I have been playing since I was five, so for about 16 years. I just love the game of soccer and the different components of being on an athletic team.

MT: What goals did you have coming into this final year of your career?

JG: I wanted to be a good and honorable captain, as well as a good friend and role model for my teammates. I also wanted to show the first-years that this can be a good year and we can capitalize. We can do so well as a team.

MT: What has been your favorite part of playing soccer at Oberlin?

JG: The team chemistry and how everyone gets along so well in the program. Having all unique personalities come together as a family. I also love how there is time to be a complete jackass but also run and work my ass off.

MT: What is the fondest memory you have of playing for Oberlin?

JG: It would have to be sophomore year when we beat Kenyon. It was raining, snowing and all other 30-degree precipitations and Kenyon was ranked second in conference. We beat them 2-1 and it was the greatest moment to date. It was during fall break so nobody was there but it was awesome.

MT: You have a new coach this year in Kristen Hayden. How is that working out for the team?

JG: She has really stepped up and fulfilled the role. She�s a real hardass and pushes us to do our best. It�s fantastic.

MT: Outside of soccer, what is your favorite activity?

JG: Hanging out with my friends, eating ice cream and I just recently started playing the piano. I love being 21. Also I enjoy teaching Spanish to kindergarteners.

MT: Can you describe your teaching program?

JG: Well, it�s called SITES (Spanish in the Elementary Schools) and Oberlin students go to places like Prospect Elementary and Eastwood to teach Spanish. It�s really good because you get a chance to broaden kids� horizons.

MT: What plans do you have after Oberlin?

JG: I want to attend grad school for psychology. I have a lot of research experience but I have not decided between working more in counseling or in the clinical environment.

MT: What is your favorite place in Oberlin?

JG: I would have to say it is Miller�s Ice Cream because I love ice cream. My favorite flavor is mint chocolate chip; it�s a party in my mouth.

MT: Well it�s time for this week�s Judy�s Oasis Vomit Special question of the week. Apples or oranges?

JG: Apples, because they are crispy, crunchy and come in different colors.
