Why Peyton chose Mizzou:
"I chose Missouri because as soon as I visited the campus, I knew it was where I wanted to spend my college years. Athletics has always been a huge part of my life and it is also a very big part of the University of Missouri, which I love. The campus is also extremely beautiful and to me it is the perfect size. Missouri was also the first college I visited that really had a family feel."
Club coach Neil Payne on Peyton:
"Peyton is a tremendous soccer player who is committed to excellence every time she steps onto the field. Moreover, Peyton flourishes in a leadership role to bring out the best in others. Bryan and his staff are a great fit for Peyton as they will develop her game further, they have recruited a great player and person in Peyton and I have no doubt she will have a successful career at the University of Missouri."
