Personal: Full name is Raven Elizabeth Blackwell ... Daughter of Rick and Michael Ann Blackwell ... Born 3-01-83 ... Has one sister, Erica ... Chose UNI because the campus is beautiful and the people are great ... Best advice ever received is "How you feel, how you think and who you believe you are is what matters - not how everyone else feels, how everyone else thinks and who everyone else think you are" ... Odd superstition is she tapes her wrists and writes "words of inspiration" on them ... Favorite soccer player is Julie Foudy and favorite sports teams are the Chicago Cubs and Real Madrid ... Her second cousin (Tim Blackwell) was a major league catcher for the Chicago Cubs and Montreal Expos from 1974 to 1983 ... Future career goals are to become a teacher and coach along with venturing into Sports Administration ... Majoring in Elementary/Middle Level Education ... Goals for 2005 are to make a positive impact on the field and push her teammates to play to the best of their ability.
