OURTH-YEAR STRIKER RILEY TATA LIKES TO
process things. She likes to see how they evolve and
develop. It's one the reason the Virginia field hockey
striker chose history as her major.
"It's crazy, but I've always loved European history," Tata said.
"Even when I was really young, instead of watching cartoons,
I'd watch the History Channel and it would be about Queen
Elizabeth. I'd watch all of her documentaries.
"I'd watch all of the Tudor documentaries; every single docu‑
mentary or book about European history, I've read. I love his‑
tory so much and it's always been that way."
