Austin Ashlock: Do you think eyebrows are considered facial hair?

Erin Bellow: Yes.

AA: What is your favorite Thanksgiving dish?

EB: Every year my

family goes to a friend’s house and they make this broccoli rice and cheese dish and it’s amazing.

AA: What is one thing you want to do before you die?

EB: I want to travel to Italy and Ireland, because I’m half Irish and half Italian.

AA: How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?

AA: What TV show or movie do you consider to be a guilty pleasure?

EB: “It’s Always Sunny in Philidelphia.”

AA: Who is your least favorite musical artist/band?

EB: Probably anything screamo or heavy metal, stuff like that.

AA: Name one candy bar that should never have been made?

EB: I’m going with Nut Roll. I have never actually had one before, but they don’t seem like they’d be very great.

AA: What’s your favorite commercial?

EB: I really like the Pedigree Dentastix commercial with all the dogs wearing dentures. I think it’s cute.

AA: Do have a dream job, besides professional soccer player?

EB: Being a freelance artist. I love to be able to support myself just by making art.

AA: If I wanted to start playing soccer today, and I have never played it before, what piece of advice would you give me?

EB: Run really hard and try to pass the ball to the same people.

AA: Did you get your flu shot yet? Needle or nasal spray?

EB: I didn’t. One of the girls on our team is a nurse and she is not getting one so I am just going to follow her.

AA: What has been your favorite memory from this soccer season?

EB: Just bus trips and when were all together because we are all just slap- happy by the end of it. I love it.

AA: What will you look to improve in the offseason, not just to make yourself a better player but also to help the team get better?

EB: Our consistency playing together. We have got a lot of newbies. Getting that experience in during the spring will definitely help.

AA: Do you enjoy watching men’s or women’s soccer?

EB: I feel bad for saying it, but I’m gonna have to say men’s. They play much more powerfully than the women.

AA: White or wheat bread?

EB: Wheat, because it is better.

AA: If you could relive one day over again, what day and why?

EB: I would relive the day my club team played in a tournament and we played three games to win the championship. It was an incredible, but playing three games in one day was not easy.
