Allyson Severyn Volleyball Senior Lancaster, N.Y. St. Mary's

1. What is the best part about being a Griff?
The best part about being a Griff is the closeness of the athletic community. Especially this year, the teams at Canisius are really supportive which helps a lot. Knowing that you have a whole Griff support system behind you is amazing.

2. What has been your favorite moment as a Canisius student-athlete?
My favorite moment has been going to MAACs at Disney's Wide World of Sports. It was a whole new experience playing in that arena. The atmosphere was filled with competition and it was a great time.

3. What three words would you use to describe yourself?
Organized (extremely), giggly, and level-headed.

4. What is your favorite part of Buffalo?
My favorite part about Buffalo is being so close to my family! They are a huge part of my life and their proximity is comforting.

5. What is your favorite quote or phrase?
"One shoe can change your life." from Cinderella. Simple but says so much!

6. What was your favorite childhood toy?
My favorite childhood toy was play-doh! (who doesn't like play-doh?)

7. What was your favorite childhood TV show?
"Are you afraid of the dark?" (even though it scared me a lot I loved to watch it)

8. Do you have any pre-game routine or ritual and if so, what is it?
This may sound weird, but i get my ankle taped before every practice and match. I always have to get my ankle taped on the same taping table in the athletic training room. Most girls have elaborate hand shakes before the game but me and Emily Elek always have to shake hands once, like a business handshake, and call it a day.

9. What TV shows are you currently addicted to?
I am currently in love with watching Food Channel's "Chopped." I would eat anything that those cooks make. My dream is to be a guest judge on that show just to try all the foods.

10. What is one interesting fact that people may not know about you?
I am a triplet. I have two brothers my age who also go to Canisius. (Shout out to Alex and Will Severyn!)
