RICHMOND, Ky.
 – Over the spring and summer, we will be profiling members of the Eastern Kentucky soccer team. Next up: rising junior Allison Werner.
 
Allison, a business management major from Cincinnati, attended private Catholic school all the way up until she arrived at EKU.

EKUSports: You went to Catholic school for grades K-12. What school was it?
 
Allison Werner: I went to St. Gertrude K-8, and then Ursuline Academy for high school.
 
ES: Both of those are in Cincinnati?
 
AW: Yes.
 
ES: Did you like attending Catholic school?
 
AW: Well, it's all I've ever known, so yeah. I never went to public school. 
 
ES: Were both schools that you attended all-girls schools?
 
AW: Ursuline Academy was an all-girls school.
 
ES: Did you like that aspect of it?
 
AW: I did. It was nice because I didn't have to get ready every morning. I'd show up most mornings with no makeup. Just get up, brush my teeth and go to school. I wasn't trying to impress anybody.
 
ES: Was it a big culture shock coming to a big, public school like EKU?
 
AW: Not really, because it's pretty much acceptable in college to show up to class wearing sweatpants and no makeup. I'd say I get a little more ready for school now than in high school, but not by much.
 
ES: Are there a lot of all-girls high schools in Cincinnati?
 
AW: There are. I think there are three within 15 miles of where I live. But, when I tell people around here that I went to an all-girls high school, they're usually pretty shocked. I get a lot of 'those exist?' and 'why would someone do that to themselves?' I enjoyed it, though. I made a lot of good friends.
