PERSONAL
Horton, a Health Sciences major, chose Rutgers University-Newark because she wanted to still be able to further her academic and athletic career while still being close to home. She knew Rutgers-Newark was the perfect place for me after the first visit. Coach Ash and the assistant coaches treated her like their own, and now they're family forever. Hobbies include shopping and working out... Love & Basketball is her favorite movie... Pizza is her favorite food... Kobe Bryant is her favorite athlete... She wants her teammates to remember her for being a great teammate and a sharp shooter...
