Wellsboro Athletics released quotes from Coolidge saying "I'm super excited. I felt really comfortable on campus and I really love my teammates and I couldn't ask for a better support system to help me along in this process. When I first got on campus I was so nervous at first, because its different than high school, but its such a beautiful campus. They care about you and want you to succeed not only in academics but in athletics, so that made me feel valued and important."
