As the Lady Raiders’ assists leader, Stephanie Galloway’s behind-the-scenes work is crucial to the offense’s success. On Plant City’s Senior Night, however, there was a role reversal: This time, it was Galloway putting the ball in the net, and that goal was the go-ahead game-winner. Not a bad way to close out her final home game in the orange and teal.
How were you feeling this week, going into the game?
A little bit exhausted, based on getting ready for exams and all that. But I think I’ve been doing fine, and I’m proud of the way I’m playing.
How would you say the season’s going?
Good, definitely. We’ve lost a couple seniors, but I definitely think that the new girls have filled their spots well. We’re improving from game to game.
What are your personal goals for this season?
Just to play my best every single game. I don’t want to walk off the field thinking that I didn’t give it my best effort.
What are some of your hobbies outside of soccer?
This year, I’ve been doing mostly school and soccer. I also played flag football. I like to go out with my friends, but I don’t consider that a hobby.
What do you and your friends do for fun?
The mall. I love the mall — I go to the mall way too much. When it’s warm, I love to go to the beach.
Favorite place to shop?
Not really, I used to when I was younger. I just bounce around from store to store.
Favorite beach?
St. Pete Beach. It’s close, and it’s nice. I’ve stayed at some of the hotels there, and it’s really nice.
