How did you come up with your costumes?
Camissa: We just went to the dollar store to find anything purple that we could make into something. We wanted to just be different and fun.

What made you decide to come so dressed up?
Steinmann: We were just bored and had to go to the game anyway so we just figured we would make it an event.

Camissa: At my high school dressing up was a big thing. Everyone would just wear anything they could that was our school colors so I am used to dressing up. Here no one really does that as much and I wish they did, I like that culture.

What are your favorite HPU sporting events to attend?
Camissa: I love going to watch men's basketball. Last year I went to every single game. With classes this year it has been a bit more difficult but I really love men's basketball.

Steinmann: I really liked going to the baseball games last year. One time I got to announce the players name and that was a lot of fun.

Who are your favorite HPU Student Athletes
Camissa: I really like cheering for Nick Barbour. I love it when he just swishes those three pointers.”

Steinmann: I like to watch Cruz Daniels. He is really tall and gets a lot of blocks.

What was it like being out on the floor during halftime?
Camissa: I have never been more embarrassed in my life but it was awesome. It was a great feeling. I don't know if I would do it again too soon but it was a lot of fun.

Steinmann: I would do it again. When you are actually out there it goes a lot faster than you think it would. It was just a blur of nervousness.

How was it to win the Best Fan Contest?
Steinmann: It was awesome to win. I never win anything so I was really happy. It was a great moment.
